BISON B.C. are ripping up the road again this fall in Canada, doing a national tour in October and November!

In the past year BISON B.C. have been on the road with Helmet,Weedeater and Saviours to name a few. On October 19th, they will start their 12 day Canadian tour in Ottawa, right off the heels of theirWeedeater tour, which is happening now (check out live photos onbrooklynvegan.com). Toronto will be a very special show as it will beC'mon's final show. The bill for Toronto also includes: Burning Loveand Miesha and The Spanks.

James, Dan, Masa and Matt will be delivering songs from 2010's Dark Ages, an album that Revolver Magazine heralded as "the best meat-and-potatoes stoner-metal record" of 2010, which also earned the a spot in the magazine's top 20 albums of that year. Dark Ages also received praise from Decibel Magazine in that it was described to contain "thrash, smash and fuck-you-up energy that'll soil your britches faster than a bottle of Mexican moonshine". The Sacramento Press claimed that BISON b.c.'s "music is thunderous, bone-shaking and most of all, heavy. Really heavy. These cats have got their own gravitational pull."

Dark Ages and previous releases, merch and more can be found on Indiemerchstore.com.

BISON b.c. Comment On Border Detainment

Canadian stoner metallers BISON b.c., who were scheduled to play a special one-off show at Seattle's El Corazon this past weekend with NOLA sludge heathens Eyehategod, were unable to cross the border and thus, did not play the gig.

 

Comments guitarist/vocalist James Farwell of the ordeal: "Due to our vicious plot to undermine the American economy and to destroy the citizens of the United States of America's belief in freedom and baseball or whatever, we weren't allowed to cross that fascinating imaginary line. More likely due to a fucking clerical error somewhere in Corporate America, the fine people at Homeland Security had no choice but to keep Americans secure from us dirty fucking Canadians. But fear not my fellow poser Canadians, we will get our fucking paper work in order soon enough and be down destroying things before you can say, 'Does Celine Dion shit in the fucking woods?!,' -- and yes indeed she does. Peace on Earth."

In related news, the band is currently in the studio penning the follow-up to their critically acclaimed Dark Ages full-length, which made its way on to a host of Year End lists including Revolver Magazine's Top 20 of 2010 where the band was commended for releasing, "the best meat-and-potatoes stoner-metal record this year." Further details to be revealed soon....

 

Dark Ages was release via Metal Blade Records last year and continues to astound with it's unsuspected riff urgency.

The bionic power of Dark Ages continues to annihilate unsuspecting listeners with its level of riff urgency. Blistering commented, "These Canucks have this genuine, but we-don't-give-a-rat's-ass attitude to them that permeates Dark Ages and the still very imposing Quiet Earth. Two albums into the 'major' label career and they've yet to misfire. Look the fuck out," with The Austin Chronicle adding, "BISON b.c. thinks as epic as prehistoric predecessor Mastodon, with Thin Lizzy corollaries and a hardcore fifth gear with vocals to match." Blabbermouth noted, "Dark Ages is not the sound of the earth moving off its axis; it is the sound of BISON b.c. shoving it off with contemptuous rage," while Rollingstone.com said simply but accurately: "Heavy, man. Real heavy. Jean-jacket heavy... If Mastodon had spent more time listening to Anthrax, they might sound like Vancouver'sBISON b.c.."
