There are 2 bands with the name Bismarck. 1. The Bismarck is a rock band comprised of four long-time friends from Grand Forks, North Dakota (well, Jury's from Bismarck originally, but who's counting?) who have slowly migrated out to the west coast. The Bismarck is a big fan of the Midwest work ethic and independent spirit. They book their own shows, engineer and release their own records, silkscreen their own shirts, load their own gear, drive their own van and - grudgingly - write their own promotional spew.

Since 2002, they've managed to rack up three EPs, three LPs, four compilation tracks, three trans-Midwest tours, a good collection of tour documentaries, and a nice swath of damaged hearing and confused stares. Their latest record is called Great Plains.
2. The Bismarck was a rock band from Boston, Massachusetts. They released two albums (S/T and Evidence) before breaking up in 2005.
