Buddy Wynkoop is a four-piece art-punk band from Portland, Oregon, blending raw punk energy with experimental, boundary-pushing sounds. With shout-sung melodies, angular guitars, and spoken word existentialism, their music captures the chaotic pulse of modern life while defying easy categorization.
Buddy Wynkoop sounds like a thrilling fusion of Devo’s quirkiness, IDLES’ raw energy, and Parquet Courts’ angular precision. Their music combines frenetic riffs and off-kilter rhythms with introspective lyricism and sardonic humor, creating a dynamic and thought-provoking take on the punk genre.
Renowned for their electrifying live performances, Buddy Wynkoop consistently brings an intoxicating energy to the stage. Whether it’s through their unconventional melodies or their ability to connect with audiences on a visceral level, they’ve earned their reputation as one of Portland’s most exciting bands. With sold-out shows and a growing fanbase, they’re a must-see act in the Pacific Northwest.
With their upcoming album Better Than Botox (releasing February 20, 2025), Buddy Wynkoop continues to push the boundaries of what punk music can be—offering a soundscape that’s inventive, challenging, and impossible to ignore.
