jacobe Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Bears - S/T LP - Limited to 300 copies / silkscreen covers / includes CD-R of album. www.bearspop.com / www.myspace.com/bearspop Sadly I just found out about this band a few months ago totally by chance...which is sad since they are from about 45 minutes from me and play a number of venues I hit up pretty often. Not the most groundbreaking band, but pretty solid "pop" music. I thought a few folks on here would dig it. According to their website they were just in AP's "100 Bands to Watch" list.

monk0nuggets Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I've never heard of these guys before, but I'm really liking it. It reminds me of Simon and Garfunkel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobe Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 I've never heard of these guys before, but I'm really liking it. It reminds me of Simon and Garfunkel. I can see that for sure. A few tracks on the CD remind me of Cat Stevens a bit, at least in the arrangements. From what I can tell they've self released everything so far, but I could see some labels showing intrest (if they haven't already) after the AP nod.

supchillinyou Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 A friend of mine got a copy of this LP a few weeks back, it looks pretty nice. The jacket is simple, but the vinyl looks really nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottheisel Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Really good band, probably one of the best local bands Cleveland has right now. If you're into the Shins, Belle And Sebastian, etc., check this out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're into the Shins, Belle And Sebastian, etc., check this out. Are they any good live? Someone sold the CD back to the store months ago and I put it in on a whim and really really enjoyed it. I may head up to the Tilly and The Wall show just to catch them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottheisel Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 They sound really good live, their vocalist can be flat occasionally but for the most part it's on par with their CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xlovecolouredx Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 just listened to their songs on myspace and i like it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobe Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 Got this yesterday...the layout's really simply, but it looks really nice. They also included a bunch of stickers/buttons/posters/postcards & the CDR of the album. Def worth the $14ppd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voodooramen Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I'm hoping to order this when I get home, you can hear the whole album on last.fm and I really liked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobe Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 Was listening to this again this morning. Bump for those that are new to the board. Great pop music, excellent vinyl packaging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
