If you've been following news in the northern areas of the US, you might know that Bison BC recently had to bow out of one of it's shows, due to being detained at the border.  The stoner metal act from Vancouver, BC, was attempting to...  well, I'll let guitarist and vocalist James Farwell tell the story:

"Due to our vicious plot to undermine the American economy and to destroy the citizens of the United States of America's belief in freedom and baseball or whatever, we weren't allowed to cross that fascinating imaginary line. More likely due to a fucking clerical error somewhere in Corporate America, the fine people at Homeland Security had no choice but to keep Americans secure from us dirty fucking Canadians. But fear not my fellow poser Canadians, we will get our fucking paper work in order soon enough and be down destroying things before you can say, 'Does Celine Dion shit in the fucking woods?!,' -- and yes indeed she does. Peace on Earth."

I'd say "That's what they get for being filthy Canucks," but the Department of Fatherland Scrutiny went too far.  They've denied American citizens metal.  Fuck those guys.

You're probably asking, "Well, what should we do?"  I'll tell you.

Go buy Bison BC merch, and demand they play your town.  Show the gubbamint we, the Metal People, are not afraid to ask for metal, and will not be denied!

Stay Brutal,
