You might remember the interview with Bison B.C.‘s James Farwell (aka Gnarwell) this site did toward the end of the last decade. Well, things are officially gearing up for the release of that anticipated second Metal Blade full-length, and it looks like as the band gets ready to hit the road, they’re helping out fans in their home and native land — true patriot love if e’er I saw it — by giving away tickets to their shows. The PR wire has the scoop:
