Bitter Buddha is a 4-piece band from Portland, OR whose goal is to forget about how awful the world can be for the duration of a song or two. Our message is not a nihilistic one, though we are living in nihilistic times. Rather, our gospel is one of emptiness and compassion. Our sound draws heavily from guitar-oriented rock of all shades and stripes. We also enjoy the rhythms of stand-up comedy, the composition of video game soundtracks, and the samples and stories of hip-hop.
You may hear bits and pieces of political speech from some familiar voices, but we rarely push a particular policy. Instead, we seek instances of unfiltered humanity, hidden deep within the trappings of the modern news cycle.
The new full-length record "Fade" was released September 22nd, 2018 on Bandcamp, Spotify, iTunes, YouTube, Tidal, and more. Vinyl will be available in the winter. For all booking and press please contact bitterbuddhamusic@gmail.com
