BEAR Tour Dates and Upcoming Concerts

Do you know the feeling of not being sure if you've seen that movie before? If BEAR were a movie, they wouldn't be like that. BEAR are that band you won't ever forget seeing live. A threat. They come to you, they confront you, they give you the feeling that you are not safe in the audience. And what a rare gift that is, in our safe world of comfort stable mediocrity, where security has become the ultimate value. By that, BEAR revoke the spirit of great hardcore bands of the 90's... bands like Catharsis or Gehenna, bands whose raw energy, uncompromising delivery and relentlessly violent performance was as energizing and invigoratingas it was puzzling for the oftentimes baffled audience, who had their teeth caved in by guitars thrown in their direction, and a bearded front man caving through them like a derailed freight train, coming to a flaming halt at the end of the room, behind the mixing desk. BEAR hail from Antwerp, Belgium's 2nd largest city and home to a thriving local metal and hardcore scene ever since the 90's, which is when members of BEAR first met at a local venue where all punk- & hardcore-bands made a stop when touring Europe. This year marks their 10th anniversary as a band. With 3 albums released since on Let it Burn and Basick Records, performances at festivals such as Graspop, Roadburn, Rock Herk, Euroblast, UK Tech Fest, Complextiy Fest and headline tours through Europe and India, the band has made themselves a name in the heavy music underground scene as one of the most punishing live acts out there. OBEY THE FUCKING BEAR. ///
