BUFORD O’SULLIVAN is back with the incredible sophomore solo album “ATTACK!”, and like his debut album “STOLEN SOUL” from a few years ago, everything was written, played, and programmed by Buford himself! Twelve tracks that range from rootsy jazz dub reggae, hot scorching 60’s ska and neo-traditional 2-Tone with kitschy melancholic vocals.
You do know who Buford O’Sullivan is….don’t you? Buford O’Sullivan is a trombonist and composer who has performed world-wide since the 1980’s. His first band, ‘Big Noise’ traveled the Northeast Corridor playing the alt music circuit from NYC and Albany to Boston throughout the 80s. In the 1990’s, Buford toured the 3rd wave ska craze extensively with The Scofflaws and The Toasters, traveling across the USA and Canada, Europe, and South America.
The Scofflaws second release ‘Ska in Hi Fi’ featured several of his songs, including ‘William Shatner’ and ‘Nude Beach’ for which a video was made and aired on MTV. He contributed a drinking song ‘Can I Get Another’ to the Toasters’ final Moon records release “Enemy of the System”.
After the millennium, he joined The Easy Star All-Stars and his reach spanned the globe with performances at The Glastonbury Music Festival in the UK, the Fuji Rock festival in Japan, Blues Festival in Australia, Moscow, Singapore, with countless tours of England, Mexico, and South America.
He has also worked with Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra, Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry, Dave Hillyard and the Rock Steady Seven, The Brooklyn Attractors, NYC Ska Orchestra and Dub is a Weapon. And of course you might catch him on tour with ska originators The Skatalites!
