The Buzzhorn was an American hard rock band from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The band began performing around Milwaukee around 1996[1] and consisted of Bert Zweber (guitars), Ryan Mueller (vocals), Todd Joseph (bass) and Rob Bueno (drums). The Buzzhorn have toured with Seether, Injected and Deftones as well as other groups in support of their Album Disconnected.

The Buzzhorn have released 3 studio albums[2], the bands first album "A Complete Package Of Action-Packed Tragedies" drew praise among music critics. Disconnected was notable for featuring on the soundtrack for the video game Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2. The band split in 2003[1] after completing their contract with Atlantic Records and have since conducted one reunion show in 2014 to celebrate its 10th anniversary.

Background

The band's lineup consisted of Bert Zweber (guitars), Ryan Mueller (vocals), Todd Joseph (bass), and Rob Bueno (drums)[1]. In 1997, the group began performing around the Milwaukee club circuit. In 1998, the group recorded its debut album, self-producing it on a tight budget. The end result was "A Complete Package Of Action-Packed Tragedies", which drew praise among local music critics. In 2000, Buzzhorn self-released an EP. A label representative from Atlantic Records heard the band and signed them to a contract in January 2001.

In 2002, Buzzhorn released its debut single Ordinary which was followed by the full-length album Disconnected in July 2002. It was produced by Howard Benson (Papa Roach, P.O.D., Cold, Hoobastank). The Buzzhorn's major label debut brought them praise for bringing a fresh approach to the hard rock world, with Hit Parader magazine labelling The Buzzhorn as "the new hard rock rookies of the year" as well as a 4-star review from metal edge magazine. The album is estimated to have sold at least 10,000 copies, almost directly due to music from the album being included in the video game Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2.[3] The band cites poor promotion and support for the poor sales performance; specifically Atlantic's promotion of the hard rock act Taproot. Shortly after the release of the album, the band split in 2003 after completing their contract with Atlantic Records.

The Buzzhorn toured with Seether, Injected, Deftones, Default, Jerry Cantrell as well as many other groups in support of Disconnected.

Following the completion of the band's contract, Joseph moved to California where he worked on other projects as well as producing acts. Zweber joined a local Milwaukee band called King Gun made up of former members of the Milwaukee hard rock act Big Dumb Dick. King Gun released a three-song demo in 2004 before splitting. The lead singer of King Gun reformed Big Dumb Dick in early 2008 and has recruited Bert as their new guitarist replacing Paris Ortiz.

On 15 October 2011, it was rumoured on Facebook that the band will be reformed. The line up should consist of all original members, including Ryan Mueller (vocals), Todd Joseph (bass), Bert Zweber (guitar), Rob Bueno (drums). On December 9, 2012, it was confirmed by former bassist Todd Piotrowski that 6 new songs were written and that band is planning to record them in the studio in mid-January, 2013. According to the latest post made by Todd Piotrowski on the 5th of August, 2014 on Facebook the band is officially reunited to perform a reunion show that took place on the 13th September, 2014 at a local Milwaukee club to celebrate its 10th anniversary[1]. Since then, no further information about current status of The Buzzhorn was given. It is still unknown if the band is planning to release new material.
