Wed 7/7 @ 9PM
After a 2-year hiatus, Bears are back! One of the most popular bands to come outta Cle will bring their indie pop tunes to the Grog Shop on Wed 7/7.
Read about ’em…
Charlie McArthur and Craig Ramsey began recording as Bears in the summer of 2005. Their first album happened, almost by accident, in about eight months. This self-titled album was self-released in April 2006, and the band soon received praise from publications like Skyscraper, Alternative Press, Amplifier, and Impose Magazine, among many others. The record also received considerable college radio play, hitting #94 on the CMJ Top 200 in August of the same year.
The pair continued to write music as winter began in Ohio, and the songs took on a slightly darker tone. The aptly-titled “Shortest Day of the Year” EP was released at the end of winter, and, once again, great reviews rolled in from places like The Big Takeover, 30 Music and Urban Pollution. The EP also hit #95 on the CMJ Top 200 after receiving a good deal of airplay.
