James Gnarwell of Bison b.c. discusses his job as a social worker in Vancouver on CBC radio 3
From CBC.com: Colossal riffs, fuzzed out shredding, and scorched amps - these are the sort of things that come to mind when I think about the band BISON b.c. Compassion, empathy and social work? Not so much. However, I have learned that James Gnarwell (singer and guitarist for BISON b.c.) is a musician who also works on Vancouver's downtown eastside as a community support worker, providing harm reduction supplies and emergency shelter to people who need it.

Bison b.c. team up with Kylesa for US tour!
Vancouver, BC’s Bison b.c. are once again saddling up their infamous tour van, the Blue Bitch, and hitting the road with Georgia’s Kylesa! The like minded pair of riff infested heavy bands will begin their trek in North Carolina, which includes the Planet Caravan Festival with Clutch, Pentagram, Wino, Burst and tons more. The fest will be a perfect beginning to what promises to be a tour filled with ample amounts of banging heads, sloshing cups of beer and plenty of beards!
Vocalist/guitarist James Farwell issues his update: "So I get back from the baptized in beer tour, and I’m hangin’ on the porch with my dog Milo, just shootin' the shit, and I break the news that I’m goin out on the road again in September…he looks up at me with the sad, disappointed look he has mastered for when I tell him things he doesn't want to hear. I scratch him behind his ear and say, "but we get to go out with Kylesa, and Tombs and Red Fang will be there to party, and Saviours…" I see his tail start wagging and he says, "Fucking awesome dude…drink a beer for me, cause sometimes this water just doesn't cut it."
This tour is not one to miss - Quiet Earth is out now on Metal Blade Records!

“If Mastodon had spent more time listening to Anthrax, they might sound like Vancouver's Bison B.C.” Rollingstone.com
“…unpretentious, mountainous rock…frequently sound like Mastodon at their most straightforward, coming impressively close to that band’s mastery of the riff.” Terrorizer Magazine

Video footage of Bison b.c. on the Baptized in Beer tour
Bison b.c. and Lazarus A.D. continue their trek across Canada, which wraps up on the 16th. From there, both bands continue into the US, starting up north in St. Paul, MN and then eventually joining up with label mates, Woe Of Tyrants.
Vocalist/guitarists James Gnarwell had this to say so far: "We have truly been baptized in beer so far…All of our clothes, the van, and every stage thus far has been soaked in our most favorite beverage…Glorious beer. All kinds of beer: from the finest ales and lagers to the dingiest piss you can stomach and we love it all. Can't wait to slay south of the border and continue our liver olympics. See you in the future."

“…intense, guitar heavy thrash that would make even Municipal Waste step back in awe” Alternative Press
“…technical ecstasy that is equally retro and forward-thinking…recalls Iron Maiden in scale and structure…one hell of an album.” Metal Edge Magazine
“powerful and dignified…they dare to approach the maniacal majesty of present-day High on Fire.” Decibel Magazine 8/10
“…Bison b.c. captures the feedback drenched crunch of the very best stoner metal.” Outburn Magazine 8/10
“Heavy, man. Real heavy. Jean-jacket heavy…If Mastodon had spent more time listening to Anthrax, they might sound like Vancouver's Bison B.C.” Rollingstone.com
“They will crush the world.” Exclaim!
Lazarus AD
“The Onslaught is firmly rooted in the classic chug-a-chug riffage, wah-wah blitzkrieg solos, and raw-throated shouts of prime 80’s Bay Area thrash, but it also mixes in blast beats and more modern, progressive passages that the previous generation never would have explored, successfully dragging a dated sound into the 21st century.” 4/5 stars Revolver Magazine
“Get ready for some friggin ridiculous thrash from Wisconsin! Not bay area thrash, think Master of Puppets era Metallica thrash.” Hails & Horns
“…the way it combines rapid-fire riffage, abrupt rhythm changes and cutting guitar harmonies within double bass drumming is worthy of praise.” Guitar World from ‘The Next Metallica?’ article
“Every song on here is a potential future classic…but more impressive is the extraordinary musicianship on display…to imagine what this band is capable of is scary.” Fangoria.com
“This one hits so hard it hurts…In two words, ‘damn good’.” Blabbermouth.net
“The Onslaught is probably better than the last couple Exodus albums. Derivative or not, when you write good songs, you write good songs and that’s all that really matters. I fully endorse and recommend this riff orgy to thrash heads everywhere.” TeethoftheDivine.com
“As soon as I heard the first thirty seconds, I was sold on Lazarus A.D.” PureGrainAudio.com
Woe of Tyrants
“Kingdom of Might is habit forming and shouldn't be taken with alcohol. For dry spells (when the album doesn't have your complete attention) of 5 minutes or more, please consult a doctor (you'd have to be dead).” AbsolutePunk.net
“…like if Lamb of God were to throw in an occasional bridge from Dio’s Holy Diver while under attack from Aborted.” Outburn Magazine
“Not only do they expertly navigate around the fretboard with fluid ease, they still manage to make many of the solos and quick counter-melodies extremely catchy. That’s a rare feat these days.” Ultimate-Guitar.com
“Woe of Tyrants is undoubtedly one of the best new extreme-metal bands to break out onto the metal landscape in a long time.” Frantikmag.com
“…truly epic confidence, graceful aggression and positivity that instantly catapults the band into the elite of American metal…” TeethoftheDivine.com
“Maybe it is the complete absence of the clichés that riddle most of the metal that gets released these days but Woe of Tyrants is a welcome breath of fresh air…” Metal-Rules.com
“…Woe of Tyrants may soon be your favorite new band.” All Music Guide
