Synopsis

Product Description
When Bison BC took its first step, amps were scorched and drums were smashed. Born of the ashes of seminal Vancouver skate-thrash band S.T.R.E.E.T.S., Bison BC are every head banger s dream. Their riffs are colossal and flow like a mighty river into a sea of fuzzed out shredding. Their message is punk rock angst and revolution, with the occasional nod to white wizards, the king of swine and a mythical beast called Stokasaurus . On their debut album Earthbound they captured their massive sound. On Bison BC s latest slab, Dark Ages, relentless touring has fine tuned the band s dedication to the Riff to metallic perfection. Dark Ages breathes like a rapid animal that you d find tied up in Wino s backyard. It s Flying V s, analog perfection, loud & sludgy, played by dudes with long hair in dirty denim jackets.
 

CD Reviews

HIGH ON BISON B.C.
Scott Rosenbluth | Orlando | 06/15/2010
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Bison B.C. first caught my attention with Quiet Earth in 2008, as something of a Mastodon side-show. Talented guys from Vancouver with beards and extinct animal moniker, but not exactly masto-rip-offs. These guys create some thunder. Sludge is the term I think that best describes their metal leanings, but there are moments of thrash and hardcore that stimulate the proceedings. The incarnation of Bison on this current cd, Dark Ages, is mostly about pummeling you. That's right, they know just how to hit you to keep you coming back for more. High on Fire comparisons are warranted as songs tend to burn and scorch around the edges, making you listen to the entire album, rather than song skip. High on Fire also deserves a mention because much of this cd could have come right off any of their releases. But hey, what the hell right? There is plenty of room in my music collection for bong crazy, bearded, ex-punks, obsessed with riffs and extinct animals. This is fantastic sludge metal with a bit of and aggresive edge for you and me, friends."
