Along with Pavement and Dinosaur Jr., Buffalo Tom were among the bands that defined one of the most significant, non-grunge, American alternative sounds of the Nineties, crafting a raucous thrash with wiry tenderness. The trio took a nine-year hiatus at the end of that decade, reforming in 2007 for Three Easy Pieces. Their next album, Skins, drops next February on their own label, Scrawny Records, and The Alternate Side had a chance to catch up with frontman Bill Janovitz to talk about this invigorating new chapter in the band's long life.
