Release Notes:
Casey Baker & The Buffalo Sinners is a four piece, hailing from
St. Catharines, Ontario. Having found moderate success with his
former band, Sleeper Set Sail (Sonic Unyon), Baker was looking for
a musical outlet. Finding himself without a band, Baker pursued a
solo career all the while missing the energy and depth a band
brought to his songs. Comprised of Kevin Griffiths on guitar,
Trevor Speechly, formerly of Sleeper Sets Sail, on bass, Patrick
Sirianni of Racecar and Policies & Procedures on drums, the
Buffalo Sinners were formed.
The bandÆs music follows one simple rule; brutal truth! A fresh
blend of folk rock and country sets a calm, musical harness for
lyrics that have proven to silence crowds. "IÆm not afraid to
reveal who I am in these songs" says Baker. "These songs are about
absolute honesty, and admitting what you desire even if it makes
you look like the bad guy".
Influenced by Canadian legends Neil Young, Leonard Cohen, and
Hayden, the band has effectively fused story telling and heavy
emotion with songs that discuss everything from one night stands
to hitch-hiker murder mysteries. In June 2007, they recorded four
songs, in two days, at Chalet Studios in Uxbridge, ON. Engineered
and produced by Dan Weston (Attack in Black, City and Colour, Rad
Affair), these live-off-the-floor sessions would come to be known
as ôThe Frontier EPö. The EP and band have found a home with the
Dine Alone family (Attack in Black, Bedouin Soundclash, City and
Colour). Available for digital download and purchasable at live
appearances, the EP is proving to be very well received, by fans
and industry alike.
Recent months have proven to be a new beginning for the
four-piece, as their music is gaining momentum and a faithful fan
base with each passing day. Baker accompanied, now label mate,
City and Colour, as backup guitarist, on the 2007 cross Canada
stadium tour, in support of Dashboard Confessional. Pairings such
as these have established a national awareness that Baker and his
band mates will stop at nothing to pursue. He lets the songs speak
for themselves and wins listeners over one ear at a time.
