Formed in St. Johns, Portland, Oregon in early 2011 by Grant Miller (guitar/vocals) Dylan Reilly (bass, harmonica), and Eric Johnson (drums), Bison Bison has one boot firmly planted in the groove-based riff rock of the 70s, and the other trudging the nebulous sludge of Doom. Bison Bison has coalesced a range of creative styles that make them versatile enough to open for acts ranging from the moody metal of Witch Mountain to the gravelly roots rock of the Builders and the Butchers. A brawny strain of rail-splitting rock ‘n’roll, whether reveling in the rumble of Sleep or the diesel driven locomotion of early Grand Funk, Bison Bison stampede through various musical landscapes, leaving the listener with hook-laden earworms that burrow in the brain for days, flood the ears in a warm glow of psychedelia, and leave one either head tripping, head banging, or head scratching: in a good way.
