Beasts Aplenty For Transmission's Third Night

By Quinn Omori (CHARTattack) December 9, 2008 12:36 pm
I started the final night of Transmission by catching Courtney Wing's set. The write-up on the band mentioned "members of Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Bell Orchestre," but while Wing's ensemble shares a penchant for the grandiose with the two aforementioned acts, it's not really a fair comparison. Godspeed and Bell Orchestre are...

Bison B.C. — Quiet Earth

in
By Keith Carman (CHARTattack) September 30, 2008 10:21 am
To say that Quiet Earth is rough around the edges fails to communicate just how primordial Bison B.C. truly are. Quiet Earth rides an impressive line between the guttural thrust and intellectual craftsmanship that's rooted in Mastodon and Baroness' almost tribal rhythmic prowess, and bastardized by an adoration for High On Fire greasy's distortion...

Sesame Street's made a True Blood parody, which they've dubbed True Mud. As one CHARTattack contributor said, "Looks like they found another use for that Jon Hamm puppet." Despite this, Katy Perry's hooters are apparently too racy for the show. The Dandy Warhols have announced a huge North American fall tour. Doucheyness is contagious,...

Bison B.C. Conquer Frustrations To Make Dark Ages

in
By Keith Carman (CHARTattack) April 15, 2010 4:25 pm
Making sleazy, aggressive metal can be rather stressful. Such was apparently the case with Vancouver-based outfit Bison B.C. while they were creating third full-length Dark Ages, at least. While the quartet look like a bunch of slackers, they were really on red alert because not only did the seven-track blast of thrash/doom metal have to live...

Bison B.C. plan to spend the entire month of December recording the follow-up to 2008's Quiet Earth. There's not much information about the sessions behind the band's as-yet-untitled sophomore album.

We're kinda bummed over here in the rocker corner of the office. This was a little bit more metalcore/for-the-kids and less classic metal than we were hoping for.

Bison B.C.'s Quiet Earth

in
By Keith Carman (CHARTattack) August 19, 2008 4:36 pm
Bison B.C. guitarist/vocalist James Farwell is kind of shocked that someone's spending money on him. "I've never had a fuckin' record deal before," says Farwell. "If someone's gonna put a lot of effort into mass-producing this and marketing it, for this batch of songs, wow. It's cool." Farwell and his Vancouver-based outfit...
