LYRICS TO OUR NEWEST ALBUM "HUGGABLE DUDES: CHRONICLES OF EXPLOSIVE BEAR"

WWW.EXPLOSIVEBEAR.COM



Explosive Bear was selected from a highly promising pool of prodigies who would be deemed fit to rock the airwaves and spread everlasting love to the world. It came down to three young men, all from Pennsylvania, who were each hand selected from hundreds of possibilities by Elder Bear (whose identity remains known only by the boys themselves).

Elder Bear's first decision was Joe Stakun, who he knighted Joebot 2.0 (because he actually is a robot). Joebot 2.0 was chosen for his cunning ability to create power with what little he obtains. Studying at Bear Academy, he soon came to respect the power of verse, where he studied the works of Dr. Flav and Professors Beastie. His living quarters remain Explosive Bear HQ to this day.

Elder Bear's second decision was Mike Giambra, who he knighted Cub Bear. Already renowned in the land of the north for his ability to play several instruments, including bass in the band Elroy. His unavoidable cuteness and skewed mind provide the endless source of comedy neccesary for the bear to thrive. Do not be fooled by his bashfulness, he can remove your heart in one movement...with his teeth. You will be dead and his belly will be full.

Elder Bear's third and final decision was Bill Benz, who he knighted Mother Bear, for he finds extremely childish and flamboyant imagery to be appealing and constantly makes references to island fruit. Mother Bear left his heavy metal / hardcore punk past behind him in his bands Sexual Ruffhaus and Rocktopus, opting for a more positive loving output. He remains in the bear because he is incapable of writing music that doesn't sound like it's from a videogame.

Explosive Bear, microphones joined in the air, is the sound of nuclear fission pulsating through your body like the blossoming rose of love. As the mushroom clouds rain down on mankind, Explosive Bear stands in the wake of the apocalypse, bearing a fruit basket of love for humanity. They can outrun explosions that chase them down hallways. It's cool.
