Biography
Buck Brothers are Andy (vocals/bass guitar), Per (guitars/vocals) and Jack (drums)

They are the world's first Anglo-Irish-Swedish band and are based in London, England.

The three Bucksters met accidentally in January 2005 at the unlikely setting of a suburban Buddhist Disco in Stoke Newington, London. Being the only three men in attendance with hair on top of their heads - Andy, Per and Jack found themselves backed into a corner after the disco turned into a sedate chant-fest. The three lads quickly discovered that they had more than just follicular abundance in common and joined forces at a Hackney rehearsal studio a week later. And it was here that the Buck Brothers sound was born. In the mere 7 months that the band has been together, Buck Brothers musical development has been exponential. They've written and recorded their first EP, 'The World According to Buck', performed 50 gigs across the UK and the Netherlands and made their first music video (for 'Which me do you like?'). It's worth noting that this has been accomplished without any radio or label support. All of this is about to change, however, as the group's debut release (on their own label 'Back2Forward)' will be promoted across college radio stations throughout the United States and Canada by TinderBoxMusic in October. The band were nominated as 'Best International Artist' at Toronto Independent Music Awards in October 2005. They've also been shortlisted to perform at NEMO Festival Boston this Autumn and are currently negotiating with UK and European distributors for their debut single, 'Which me do you like?' and their forthcoming album which is slated for release in December.

What is the Buck Brothers sound?
The 4 Ps - Predatory, Power, Punk, Pop. Incredibly catchy or annoyingly hummable. A sounds that your mother wouldn't openly approve of but would secretly sing to herself on the quiet.
