Buddy Wynkoop Gets Critical with “Nouveau Riche” – New Music Review

Need a quick mood boost that’ll get your heart pumping? Buddy Wynkoop delivers exactly that in under three minutes.

"Nouveau Riche" doesn’t mess around – it grabs you from the synthy wind-up intro and never lets go. The spoken urgency in the vocals? Pure magnetism.

That distorted guitar work adds serious grit and infectious fun. You can already imagine how this’ll absolutely destroy at their live performances.

This Portland-based art/dance punk six-piece has been quietly building momentum across the PNW since forming in 2020. Pretty impressive trajectory, honestly.

Mark your calendars for July – they’re hitting the Timber! Outdoor Music Festival up in Washington state. Don’t sleep on this one.
