Bison Machine (Facebook – Bandcamp) is a band I’ve been following since their self-titled first EP in 2013 (reviewed here). I really enjoyed this release which was really strong on the overall heaviness of the tunes.

Then the Michigan guys released their first debut album, “Hoarfrost” last year, which I also played many times ! But this time the heaviness was less predominant, and to me they pushed stronger the blusier side and the Temperature Level, which I approve entirely, this record is badass !

In 2016, they released a killer split with 2 other bands from the Detroit scene Wild Savages & Slo (reviewed by Mr. Groove here). With 2 tracks in that split, Bison Machine stepped up their game once again, delivering some delicious fuzzy ass-shaking tunes, going even more into a retro 70’s sound but still sounding fresh.

Now More Fuzz is proud to present you a brand new tune from Bison Machine, “Cloak & Bones“. The guys told me this tune will be included in their next album which is being recorded right now. It also features a new member, Casey O’Ryan on guitar (remember, he was featured in our first Crank The Fuzz Series article).

And what I can tell you is they didn’t loose their punch ! This band kickass man ! Following even more their venture into 70’s Heavy/Blues Rock, “Cloak & Bones” is a track with a killer groove. Tom is still singing wonderfully with his Ozzy-like voice, Breck at the drums and Anthony on bass are precisely exploding the Temperature Level, giving the newcomer Casey all the energy needed to shine with his catchy fuzzy & bluesy licks

As a point of comparison, I think Bison Machine could really be as big as Greenleaf, they may not be a Swedish supergroup, but they clearly play at the same level… Now I’m impatiently waiting for the new album
