Bull The Buffalos Tape

Bull The Buffaloes hailed from the Tokyo area of Japan, known from their 12" EP released by SPFC records in 1993 ( wich you can occasionally find on ebay etc. ). Note: on this tape they called them self Bull The Buffaloes later releases they were named Bull The Buffalos! This is a tape released around 1990 i suspect. The A side are 4 live songs, the B-side are 7 songs recorded in their practise space. I think certain members continued making music with the band Raiya after Bull The Buffalos broke up.
Check out some live videos of them on youtube:
