Young Buffalo is an indie rock band from Oxford, Mississippi. == History == Jim Barrett and Ben Yarbrough started writing music together when they were teenagers and went on to form their first band in high school. They continued to play music together, along with other friends throughout high school, and it was during this time that Barrett self recorded an EP in the spring of 2009 for a school project (which he failed) under the name "Young Buffalo" (a nickname he had for Ben in school). The recordings ended up being well received locally, and the duo brought the "Young Buffalo" project to life. In July 2011, Young Buffalo released the "Young Von Prettylips EP" on Cantora Records,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://cantorarecords.com/artists/young-buffalo )〕 an American label noted for signing the then-unknown psychedelic rock band MGMT for their second EP, Time to Pretend EP.
