Release Notes:
Stop-start boy-girl rock-cutie-killer six-piece with everything from cinematic
waltzes to catchy electro disco and hard punk screaming riot grrl noise. A mix
of Belle and Sebastian, Huggy Bear, and Sonic Youth with electronic twists and
turns, and screamy art punk.
Since playing their first gig in 2001 the band have notched up four Radio 1
sessions on the legendary John Peel show and three Festive 50 top five hits,
including the number 2 slot in 2004 with their latest single Chargr.
Last summer the six-piece took their tunes to Sweden's finest art-rock noise-pop
festival Emmaboda where they played alongside Kaito and Deerhoof, before playing
dates in Amsterdam with Magoo. The band released their debut album Cat
Spectacular! in America on March 28th 2005 and itÆs currently on rotation at
more than 60 radio stations across the U.S. The band have a busy summer schedule
ahead including a full U.K tour, several European festival dates and their first
American tour.
With five singles, an EP, one album, and a variety of outlandish stage gear -
blood soaked prom dresses, 'nurses of death' outfits and silver bear-bot wear to
name but a few - Bearsuit are certainly a band to catch if you can.
