The Bears, The Bears!! on purevolume™

Hardcore / Other

The Bears, The Bears!! has disgusted, enthralled or pissed off all who have encountered them. Due to the band's vicious new-wave grindcore spazzery, The Bears, The Bears!! affects people, which is more than can be said for 99% of the world's punk rock bands. And what The Bears, The Bears!! do is undeniably punk -- honest, principled and fuelled by the desire to destroy: destroy complacency, destroy familiarity, destroy tradition, destroy music, destroy you.
Even when equipped with knowledge of the band's aggressive lineage (grind, Drive Like Jehu-inspired hardcore and mental case new wave), it's hard to prepare oneself for the violence The Bears, The Bears!! unleashes. Relentless blitzkriegs of high velocity noise, skinny tie keyboards and bloody screaming that often last less than a minute, The Bears, The Bears!! songs are tightly-wound, dynamic and bizarre expressions of frustration and hatred whose intensity and creativity are currently unparalleled in punk rock, and even if one was to take away the members good looks, the frequent kitschiness, and the catchy lyrics, you would still be left with a band whose blistering material, incredible live show and desire to re-invigorate punk are refreshing, impossible to deny and necessary.
Worthy of your attention, your respect and your money, The Bears, The Bears!! will enter stage one of their development with their new album, coming soon.
