bis are "post-rock" band from Scotland. I believe they're on the
alternative music label Wiija which has a connections to the Beastie
Boys and Grand Royal.
The bis sound is spacey guitar rock which either goes towards the
ambient or the noisy, grunge side of things. Other bands of this ilk
are Urusei Yatura and Trans Am.
