Welcome To The Hellmouth
Master Source:In Welcome to the Hellmouth, No Heroes from the Master Source music library can be heard as Joyce drives Buffy to school.
Sprung Monkey:The first ever band to play at the Bronze was Sprung Monkey in Welcome to the Hellmouth. They play “Things Are Changing” from their album Swirl as Buffy leaves the Bronze looking for Willow, and “Believe”, from the same album, as Buffy enters the Bronze for the first time. They also play “Swirl” in the Bronze. We hear their song “Saturated” (from the album Swirl) as Buffy is choosing an outfit.
Their song “Right My Wrong” (again from Swirl) can be heard in The Harvest as Buffy attempts to leave the school, and “Reluctant Man” (Swirl) can be heard in The Pack when the bullies enter The Bronze.
The Harvest
Dashboard Prophets:The band Dashboard Prophets can be heard in the Bronze in The Harvest. We hear their tracks “Ballad For Dead Friends” (as the vampires approach the Bronze) and “Wearing Me Down” (Cordelia says she loves the song). Both songs are from their album Burning Out The Inside.
We also hear “All I Want” (from the same album) in The Pack in the Bronze, near the beginning of the episode.

The Witch
2 Unlimited:The music “Twilight Zone” by 2 Unlimited plays during the cheerleading tryouts in The Witch. The song comes from the album Get Ready For This.
Humbucker:‘Count The Time’ by Humbucker, from the album My Snake, plays whilst Buffy and Joyce are talking at the end of The Witch.
Teacher's Pet
Superfine:The band Superfine sang in the Bronze in Teacher’s Pet. The singer, Rob Grad, wasn’t very impressed with Xander when he approaches the stage. The band performed “Already Met You” (which appears on the Buffy the Vampire Slayer soundtrack) and “Stoner Love” from their album Stoner Love.
Never Kill A Boy On the First Date
Kim Richey:In the episode Never Kill A Boy On the First Date, when Buffy breaks up with Owen, we hear “Let the Sun Fall Down” by Kim Richey.
Rubber:In the episode Never Kill A Boy On the First Date, when Angel enters the Bronze, we hear “Junkie Girl” by Rubber.
Three Day Wheely:In the episode Never Kill A Boy On the First Date, we hear the music “Rotten Apple” by Three Day Wheely (from the album ‘Rubber Halo’) as Cordelia and Owen dance.
Velvet Chain:The band Velvet Chain appeared on stage in the Bronze in the episode Never Kill a Boy on the First Date, performing the tracks ‘Strong’ and ‘Treason’. The band’s singer, Erika Amato, became a huge fan of the show and used to write to fans on the official Buffy website’s posting board. Velvet Chain wrote their own theme song to the show, called ‘Buffy’. They then released The Buffy E.P. (1999, Freak Records - Velvet Chain’s own label). The album became so popular that it was distributed nationally in America, as the original album had only previously been available on Velvet Chain’s website. While writing the lyrics to the song ‘Buffy’ Jeff Stacy (the band’s composer) logged on to the Buffy Posting Board and asked fans for their ideas about what a Buffy song should say. He received over 100 e-mails from Buffy fans within three days. Seth Green (Oz) contributed guitar tracks on the song ‘Buffy’ on The Buffy E.P. and appears in the album credits. Seth has also performed with the band on stage. Nicholas Brendon (Xander) appeared in a photograph on inside sleeve of the E.P., with his twin brother Kelly.
Velvet Chain also performed at the show’s production wrap party in 1998, held at the El Rey Theater in Los Angeles. They have also performed at the Buffy Posting Board Parties held in 1999 and 2000.
The Buffy the Vampire Slayer Soundtrack (1999) includes the Velvet Chain song ‘Strong’.
In Phases, we see that Buffy’s locker has a Velvet Chain sticker on it.
The Pack

We also hear “All I Want” (from the same album) in The Pack in the Bronze, near the beginning of the episode.
In The Pack, we hear Far’s ‘Job’s Eyes’ from the album Tin Can With Strings To You as the hyena gang do their slow-motion walk.

Sophie Zelmani:Sophie Zelmani’s “I’ll Remember You” plays when Buffy and Angel kiss goodbye in the episode Angel.
I Robot, You Jane
The Puppet Show
The Greatest Love Of All:Cordelia’s ‘talent’ in the school’s talent show (in The Puppet Show) was singing “The Greatest Love Of All”. The song was written by Linda Creed and Michael Masser, and was a huge hit for Whitney Houston in 1986. Cordelia sang this song several years later on the season four Angel episode ‘Slouching Towards Bethlehem‘ when Lorne wanted to ‘read’ her. Obviously, this is one of her favourite songs.
Nightmares
Out of Mind, Out of Sight
Bach:In the episode Storyteller, the classical piece playing at the beginning of the episode, in Andrew’s fantasy, is Brandenburg Concerto 3, Movement 1, by Johann Sebastian Bach. The same piece can be heard in Hell’s Bells, being played by the quartet at Anya’s wedding.
In Out of Mind, Out of Sight, Marcie repeatedly plays Bach’s “Siciliano” on her flute.
Prophecy Girl
Jonatha Brooke:When Buffy looks at her photo album in Prophecy Girl, we hear Jonatha Brooke’s “Inconsolable” from the album Plumb.
Patsy Cline:Xander listens to country music (”the music of pain”) in Prophecy Girl, after Buffy turns him down. His chosen track is Patsy Cline’s “I Fall To Pieces“. A season one episode of Angel was entitled I Fall To Pieces after this song.
Fred sings Patsy Cline’s song “Crazy” at Caritas in That Old Gang of Mine (Cordelia: “I swear to God, she picked out the song herself”).
