Buffering the Vampire Slayer is a distinctive indie duo blending Buffy the Vampire Slayer fandom with intimate singer-songwriter storytelling. Founded by Jenny Owen Youngs (singer-songwriter) and Kristin Russo (writer/activist), the project started as a podcast in 2016 featuring Buffy recap episodes and original songs inspired by each show. Over eight seasons, the duo released a series of Buffy-themed albums from 2016 through 2022, culminating in a recent wave of music that blends indie, alternative, and pop-rock textures with a dedicated ‘slayercore’ sensibility.
