Bear Hands » Golden EP
I saw Bear Hands last night when they opened up for Ambulance Ltd at The Middle East in Boston, MA. They put on a pretty good set, especially for a band that hasn’t toured before. Their lead guitarist is great, playing a mean slide guitar which you can hear on their track Golden. I think this is one of my most favorite songs on the 4 track EP. All 4 songs are pretty good and I’m hoping that they can get a complete album together for release soon.
The band is from Brooklyn, NY. Their said to have a similar sound to Modest Mouse and Interpol, both of which I’m a big fan of. You can buy the EP on iTunes or go to their MySpace page and listen to the tracks there (though you can’t download them). Finding hidden gems like these guys is great. Gets me some music that I might not have listened to without going to live shows!
