"M. Bison stack the vocal harmonies instead of the guitars, add more than a few tinkly Pet Sounds touches, and… wow. If you’re a Shins fan or love the smartypants-pop of Squeeze, check this band out immediately, particularly “Wassup You Guys.” Hand claps! That organ that teeters between roller rink and baseball game! When I started listening I wasn’t smiling, and when I finished I was. And y’know what? That’s good enough for me."
Abe Beeson, DJ, KEXP
"M.Bison writes pop songs of the highest magnitude, showing 5 slightly different versions of their genius on the new EP Not Bad! which, actually, is close to brilliant. more, please!!"
"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)."
"The mark of a good album for me is how much I want to relisten to it, and with its happy, jangly piano’s abound and cheery backup vocals very well executed, M. Bison has created a perfect pick-me-up record I can actually imagine coming back to and listening too over again...we'll definitely have to keep our eye on these gents."
"Indeed, for many of you video game enthusaists the title M. Bison may engender nostalgic memories of your arcade button-smashing days of Street Fighter. The band, however, sound like anything but a roid-raging militant with psychic fighting powers. The soft vocals, glacé lyrics, and pleasantly arranged music pack a punch all their own which can be added to Bison's combat repertoire."
