In spring 2009 Bear Driver released their debut ep ‘Paws & Claws’, a dreamy-psychedelic-pop record cooked up in a bedroom studio, that quickly found it’s way on to the airwaves. A further release ‘Mind Attack’ appeared that summer on Dance To The Radio, and soon the band were invited to play Leeds/Reading and End Of The Road Festivals and in autumn appeared at In The City.

Described as “… kind of like children’s party entertainment by Arcade Fire”, Bear Driver mix fuzzy pop songs with ambitious choruses,and a playful use of instruments. Debut single ‘Wolves’ was released on July 5th through Animal Farm / ADA Warner. In Oct the band self released new song ‘Golden Touch’ in time for their uk tour, and at christmas put out a haunting version of ‘Walking In The Air’. They are due to appear at South By Southwest in Austin, Texas in March.
