Born in a tin shed on Melbourne’s coastal fringe on a lazy afternoon, Buckley Ward were suddenly a band. Kind of like in year 9, when you kissed a girl and you suddenly had a girlfriend. The 5 piece outfit moved from a tin shed to a rehearsal space, from cuppas to lattes and from small dingy pubs to larger dingy pubs, taking with them an increasing number of devoted fans.

The band released their debut self-titled EP in the Autumn of 2008 – but far from contented, immediately set out self recording their first full length album. The result, ‘Something in the Night’, is a journey through their constantly evolving brand of carefully crafted pop.

Fashioned in the back alleys of North Carlton, the album draws on influences as diverse as Crowded House, Wilco, The Shins and Death Cab for Cutie, but stands alone as an unmistakeable and uniquely Buckley sound.

Buckley Ward are the best new band in Australia. Their new release is almost flawless.
