The White Buffalo, is as unpredictable as his somewhat obtuse moniker might suggest, yet he wouldn't have it any other way. White Buffalo remains a singular breed, whose passion for pursuing his muse not only broaches boundaries, but often ignores them entirely. So while The White Buffalo may not be part of a stampede, Smith is convinced he has what it takes to connect with listeners regardless. "There are a lot of new bands who are drawing inspiration from that '80s era of pop, but I just do it because I love synths and love writing songs, songs that have got middle eights and bridges."
