We make music that combines catchy guitar riffs, stacked vocal harmonies, and relatable lyrics to provide you with the ultimate soundtrack to the highs and lows of young adulthood (or something like that).

We started playing together on cold winter days, when writing music with friends seemed like the most enjoyable manner in which to freeze to death (thanks, we survived).

We like the summer too, though. And this summer we got together for a couple o’ days and finally laid down those tracks we’d been tweaking for the better part of two years. Some of the songs you’ll hear were (almost!) fully tracked that weekend, but others were born out of our current living-room wrestling match with inspiration.

Under the name Buffchick, New Jersey-born singer/songwriter Erin Manion splices elements of indie rock, pop, folk and a host of other influences into her own style of introspective music. Taking cues from artists like Pinegrove, Modern Baseball and Soccer Mommy, Buffchick has cultivated a strangely nostalgic sound that speaks to her origins as an avid theater kid, roots that fed her passion as a songwriter and music creator. Having recently graduated from Syracuse University’s music program, Buffchick is simultaneously bartending her way through Brooklyn while also recording as much new music and playing as many shows as she possibly can.
