  • Bio

    ....*******Praise for M. Bison*******.. .. M. Bison sound like no one else making music in Seattle today–maybe just making music period. Their songs are as complex as they are catchy and after just couple listens, you’re sure to find an M. Bison song on repeat in your head–and you won’t mind it one bit." .. ..sound on the sound.. .. "The charming, piano-driven pop jams these dudes belt-out employ a magnetic formula of classic tag-team harmonies, impressive chops, and just the right amount of playful Kinks-ian wit. Man, do they know how to craft a good bridge." .. .. ..James Truitt, KEXP 90.3 Blog.. .. "Even though M. Bison has a loud & proud sound that makes you want to thrash around, ..they also churn out some terribly pretty harmonies - it draws out yearnings in your ear's equivalent to a sweet-tooth,.. so much so that you'll either have weep in place or grab the nearest person ..and dance with them (I did a little of both)." .. ..-three imaginary girls.. .. Named to Seattle Magazine's list of "The Best Seattle Bands You Haven't Heard Yet." .. ....*******Praise for the full length record, "M. Bison"*******.... .. "The catchiness is irrefutable...how the same group is able to produce 'Going Home Soon' and 'Samurai Showdown' traces back to the days when the word 'eclectic' was not used as a rare complimentary word, but rather a common characteristic of most active artists during pop’s heyday." .. ..-obscure sound.. .. "...this type of thoughtful, clever, complex, and ever so catchy type Seattle Indie-Bar-Pop beats the tuneless, grating High-School-Drop-Out-Bar-Rock that you find anywhere else. The piano is spot on. The tunesmanship and talent are undeniable." .. ..-tome to the weather machine.. .. .. "With this week’s self-titled release, M. Bison are living up to the high standard the band has set for themselves with their live performances, by embracing what they do best — adventurous pop songs. Songs that would be completely over-the-top if they weren’t so god damn catchy, touching, full of humor, and beautifully orchestrated...That M. Bison’s sound is hard to pin-point is a great thing. They sound like everyone and no one else. It’s theatrical and earnest. Saccharine and sarcastic. It’s piano pop, it’s soaring video game melodies, it’s a simple song that sounds so right on listen one that it feels like it’s been around for 40 years...Easily, one of my favorite local releases of 2009." .. ..-sound on the sound.. .. "Seattle’s M. Bison creates light pop songs with an emphasis on keys and the awkwardness of an educated youth not constricted by the constraints of conformity...true creators, excellent performers, and purveyors of great self-made pop songs." .. ..-fensepost.. .. "Seattle’s M. Bison, already known as a great live band, has recently released a full-length album that should garner them attention far beyond their local haunts...“Elves Sing La La La” combines a sweet melody with thrashing drums and grandiose vocals that shows off their ambitious energy." .. ..-record department music reviews.. ......
