About The Buzz

The Buzz is a collective of thoughts, feelings and emotions. Like bees, The Buzz relies on the "hive mind" (each participants thoughts and feelings acting together) to create an intertwined emotion and audible experience.

—Methiah Miller, Bassist & Lead Vocalist

The quintet, formed in Longmont, CO, is comprised of Methiah Miller (bass, vocals), Jason Flinn (guitar, vocals), Andy Cappetta (keys, synths), Carter Burgess (guitar), and Tom Nelson (drums). The Buzz is a gradual accumulation of like-minded artists with a common goal: to create an experience that "moves" the listener in one way or another, and to share that experience with as many people as possible, as a collective.

The Buzz has grown to find Denver as a second home frequenting venues like Cervantes Otherside, Your Moms House, Globe Hall and Moe's Original BBQ on South Broadway. In the summer of 2022, they also had the opportunity to show Telluride, Colorado their stuff on the main stage of the iconic Sheridan Opera House. The Buzz has been featured on Denver area stream Camera Jams, Flower Hour Podcast, and Longmont endeavor Can You Dig It podcast.

In December of 2020 the band put the final touches on its debut LP "Release the Bees" featuring re-recorded tracks from their debut EP as well as newer tunes. It also features a violin sit in from band friend Alex Tocco of Ghost Town Drifters. The album was recorded at The Keep studio in Denver. This album dropped in February of 2021.

Immediately following the album announcement the band was happy to welcome new drummer Tom Nelson to the band. In February of 2022, the Buzz guys also welcomed Andy Cappetta on the keys and synths into the band. Individually, the artists are as passionate as they sound as a unit, even coming from scattered places to find each other in their home- Colorado!
