History

Their debut album, More Heart Than Brains , was released on Anticon in 2009. [4]

While Buck 65 and Greetings from Tuskan have ongoing solo efforts, they say the band "should not be thought of as a side-project," and the album "NOT a one-off affair." [5] Though the two have never met in person, [6] [7] they have been making music since 2007 after meeting through MySpace, [8] [9] and the album has been "finished" since June 2008. [4] [10] The album marks the first time that a Buck 65 album features completely electronic production. [9] [11]

Their second album, So Much Forever, was released on Fake Four Inc. on February 11, 2014. [12]
