Buzzard Canyon to Release Drunken Tales of an Underachiever… The Saga Continues on Argonauta Records

Posted in Whathaveyou on July 14th, 2021 by JJ Koczan

Hey guess what? Here’s a thing that was announced in Spring 2020 and the plan changed! Please, I beg you, try to contain your surprise.

When word first came down of Buzzard Canyon‘s cumbersomely-titled second album, Drunken Tales of an Underachiever… The Saga Continues, it was set to release through Salt of the Earth Records, presumably sometime before the end of the year. Now, the Connecticut-based heavy rock troupe have signed to Argonauta and I can’t imagine it’ll be out before the end of 2021, given pressing plant delays, surging variants and all the rest of it.

But a record exists and will be out sooner or later, so the news, ultimately, is good, if not uncomplicated. I’ll hope to have more on it before release. PR wire has the signing announcement:

BUZZARD CANYON Signs To Argonauta Records For Release Of Brand New Album!

The sixty cycle hum of tube amplifiers meets hard driving rhythms and bombastic beats while bluesy, swirling dual male and female lead vocals guide the listener through a rawkus off road journey of down and dirty rock and roll! Connecticut’s BUZZARD CANYON have announced their worldwide signing with Italy’s powerhouse label Argonauta Records for the release of the band’s sophomore album, entitled Drunken Tales Of An Underachiever…The Saga Continues.

“It took us a while to start and finish this record, and at the end.. we weren’t sure it would see the light of day,“ says vocalist/guitarist Aaron Lewis. “But, with great thanks to Gero and Argonauta Records, Drunken Tales of an Underachiever will hit the shelves! We are honored to be on the label and ready to rock!“

BUZZARD CANYON began their journey as a band in 2013. The inspiration was simple: “To play some in your face rock n’ roll and most of all, have fun while doing it!” The term “Camaro Rock” was quickly adopted and sums up their style just perfectly: Picture yourself with a jean jacket, mullet, driving an early 80’s Camaro, pumping your fist as you roar down a desert road with the radio at full volume. The band have been amassing a loyal following by delivering massive riffs and gigging tirelessly. BUZZARD CANYON has performed on notable stoner and doom fests throughout the U.S. and Canada and played direct support slots for multiple national acts.

October 2016 saw the band’s critically acclaimed debut release Hellfire & Whiskey on Salt Of The Earth Records. After spending the next few years performing live in support of the release, the band started to write and demo new material, but due being in isolation with the rest of the world during the Covid-19 pandemic, they were forced to sit tight on their second full- length. Recorded once again at Studio SevenZeroEight with Aaron Lewis at the production and engineering helm, Drunken Tales Of An Underachiever…The Saga Continues will see worldwide release through Italy’s Argonauta Records soon. Watch out for many more details and first tunes to follow in the weeks ahead, as BUZZARD CANYON stands poised to unleash their low down greasy, grimy brand of rock n’ roll mayhem upon the world!

Buzzard Canyon is:
Amber Leigh: vocals & percussion
Aaron Lewis: vocals & guitar
Mike Parkyn: guitar
Matt Raftery: drums
Rob Birkbeck: bass

Buzzard Canyon Post “Ashes” Video; Announce New Album & Lineup Change

Posted in Whathaveyou on May 5th, 2020 by JJ Koczan

Well, the track is raw and that would seem to suit Buzzard Canyon just fine. The Connecticut-based heavy rockers bid farewell to bassist Randall Dumas and a howdy-ho to Rob Birkbeck, who takes on the role even as progress continues on the band’s forthcoming second album. Obviously there’s work to be done, mixing, mastering, but hell, listening to the version of “Ashes” that comes with the new video of compiled studio footage, the song sounds pretty close, and certainly suits the name of the to-be-realized LP, Drunken Tales of an Underachiever: The Saga Continues, which, while it may be cumbersome, definitely gets its point across in terms of the vibe the band are going for.

With intertwining vocal lines and choice driving riffery at their disposal, Buzzard Canyon give their new record an enticing tease here, and if it’s something they put together because they’re on lockdown and bored and/or antsy to do something, anything, well hell, I’ll take that.

Rock and roll:

New Buzzard Canyon Member Announced and New Video

Hey folks, as you may or may not know, Buzzard Canyon has been hard at work on our follow-up record to Hellfire and Whiskey over the past…. while now. We are excited to say that it is near completion! The amazing Bill Kole is currently working on the art, we are in the final stages of mixing and we’ll be sending it off to mastering once that is done. It’s a 10 track journey of fast paced, hip swinging rock and roll, filled with whiskey flavored riffs, psychedelic nuances, and drunken tales of woe… You will not be disappointed.

We have also had a lineup change to announce. Randall Dumas was a member of Buzzard Canyon for many years, and we have mutually agreed to part ways. We wish him well and thank him for his time with us!

With all of that said, we would like to take this moment to welcome the very talented Rob Birkbeck on bass. With the departure of Dumas, Rob stepped up and leaned the songs in a very short time, and recorded his tracks from home during this current lockdown.

We would like to present the following video for “Ashes” off of the new album titled: “Drunken Tales of an Underachiever: The Saga Continues….”

This version of the song is mostly mixed and not mastered.

We look forward to getting back out there with you all and making memories that will be forgotten in a drunken haze the next morning.

Enjoy the video, stay tuned, drop out, and stay safe.
