Buddie (2022)

Vancouver, BC

Buddie makes sweet, sweet sounds that are the audio equivalent of licking the frosting off the beater. This Philadelphia-born, BC-based quartet has melodies and memorable hooks oozing out of every pore. Debut full-length Diving channels the power-pop greats from a time when the hard stuff took over in the early ’90s, and music seemingly turned its back on the softer, cuddlier tunesmiths who still had a crunchy core.
