Buffalo is a revered Australian hard rock band, known for their raw and heavy style that was influential in shaping the pub rock and heavy metal movements in Australia during the 1970s. Formed in Sydney in 1971, the band quickly garnered a reputation for their loud, energetic live performances and no-frills approach to music. Buffalo's sound was characterized by the potent guitar riffs of John Baxter, driving rhythms, and the gruff, commanding vocals of Dave Tice, which would power their gritty brand of rock 'n' roll.

The group's discography includes several key albums that have achieved cult status among fans of the genre. Their debut album "Dead Forever..." released in 1972, set the tone for their uncompromising musical path, while follow-up records like "Volcanic Rock" and "Only Want You for Your Body"—released in 1973 and 1974, respectively—cemented their place in the pantheon of Australian hard rock. Despite never achieving major international success, albums such as "Mother's Choice" (1975) and "Average Rock 'N' Roller" (1977) are celebrated as underappreciated classics that showcase the band's raw energy and songwriting prowess. They disbanded in 1977 after their fifth studio release, leaving behind a legacy as one of the pioneers of the heavy rock scene in Australia.
