Interview w/Bear Hands

C=T What kind of pressure have you guys faced after the strength of the “What a Drag” single on recording your full length? Also, who did the fantastic artwork for the cover on the single?

BH We recorded the LP before the single came out, so pressure don’t matter. Ben McIntire, artist.

How’s the tour going w/Passion Pit & Mayer Hawthorne?
Fun fun fun.

C=T Bears are in fashion right now , with you guys, Bear in Heaven, Gorilla Vs Bear. Where did the name derive from ? And did you guys consider being a hybrid of Wolf Bear?

BH Val got kicked out of a band called Blissful Salmon, and he wanted to do something different.

C=T I heard you guys are doing a live set coming out next month? Tell us about it and what we can expect…What kind of plans do you have on the release of your forthcoming album?

BH-Played a few songs for friends at the Rumpus Room in Cantora Records’ office in celebration of the release of ‘What a Drag’. We recorded it with cameras and microphones.
New album is currently being mixed. We’ll release it in 2010.
