Years ago, I came to SXSW to see The Last Bison perform. Now with a few new hits and a refined sound, they're back, playing at Austin's esteemed film and music festival once more.

Frontman Ben Hardesty came on the show to discuss

• The story behind their evolving sound
• What went into making their latest music video
• How they create a unified experience for their fans across the country
• What getting signed by a label has meant to the band
• Staying true to one's values while building an audience

Make fans that are friends." - Ben Hardesty

After the interview, you can hear Last Bison's song "Dark Am I."
