Buffalo

Buffalo was an Australian hard rock band formed in 1972. They were known for their heavy, blues-influenced sound and have been credited as one of the pioneers of the Australian pub rock scene. Their most successful album is "Dead Forever..." which was released in 1972 and features the hit single "Sunrise (Come My Way)". The band has undergone several line-up changes over the years and in the early '80s the band went on hiatus, but later re-formed in 2016.
