In November 2005, Buckler re-entered professional music when he set up a new band called The Gift, named after the final album release by The Jam, with Russell Hastings (lead vocals/guitar) and Dave Moore (Bass), with himself on drums, playing exclusively old material from The Jam’s back catalogue. In 2007, Buckler’s old ex-Jam bandmate Bruce Foxton joined as the bass-player (Moore moving to rhythm guitar and keyboards) and the new band began touring under the name of From the Jam. After four years of touring, Buckler quit From the Jam in September 2009, being replaced by Mark Brzezicki. Criticism of the new act from a distance by Paul Weller confirmed that it was not going to be a means of a reformation of the original band, and Buckler felt that to continue performing with it without Weller ran the risk of him and Foxton finding themselves in the curious situation of becoming a Jam tribute band.
