Bruno Castiglia e i Bisonti

There’s not much info out there in English about this great Milan band, usually referred to as just i Bisonti (the Bison!). I know of three releases, each of which has at least one great song on it.

The first, “Ma se ci penso” is probably my favorite, it was written by A. Friggieri and P. Gatti. This 3 song ep also has a fine cover of Lucille on it.

Crudele (translates as “Cruel”) is their heaviest number, the opening fuzz riff is followed by a scream and lyrics that are shouted at you to a pounding beat. This one was written by Solisca and Friggieri.

Partial list of 45 releases:

City 6164 – Portami tante rose, Lucille, Ma se ci penso
City 6179 – Balla canta ridi, Come on
City 6190 – Occhi di sole, Crudele
