Hailed as the “heroes British rock needs right now” and lauded by everyone from Alt Press and Upset to Rhythm and Total Guitar, Hunter & The Bear are busy making raw, melodic and downright thunderous rock cut straight from the heart.
From securing support slots with Eric Clapton, Simple Minds and Van Morrison to selling-out previous headline tours, here is a quartet that grew up on a heavy diet of rock royalty – Biffy Clyro, Foo Fighters and more recently Royal Blood – who make music that is melancholy, expansive and uplifting all at the same time, their powerhouse riffs more than enough to keep rock purists and casual listeners alike satisfied.
Live, this is a band where each song performed threatens to topple over with lightning-charged intensity and in May they released their debut album, ‘Paper Heart’ – ten memorable offerings that have already earned them a legion of dedicated fans.
With all songs written and performed by this group of close friends exclusively, Hunter & the Bear are a real, organic project – one that’s built on pure passion, drive and belief in each other as musicians. Catch them on tour this November, they’ll obliterate everything you thought a band should be.
Hunter & The Bear are:
Will (lead vocals, guitar)
Jimmy (lead guitar, vocals)
Gareth (drums, vocals)
Chris (bass, vocals)
