Bear Hands

"2AM" is the debut single out now from Bear Hand's forthcoming third album, "You'll Pay For This" scheduled for release on April 15th via Spensive Sounds. Recorded in a Westchester, NY home and a Brooklyn studio, this collection was co-produced by guitarist Ted Feldman and long-time Bear Hands collaborator James Brown (Foo Fighters, Arctic Monkeys) and mixed by Alan Moulder (Smashing Pumpkins, Nine Inch Nails, Foals).

"Our band has been the same four guys for all nine years," said Bear Hands member Ted Feldman, "We've witnessed all the classic music industry cliché journeys play out our periphery - bands blowing up to stardom, bands crippling under the spotlight, crippling under no spotlight, bands tossed off by labels or the press... but we've somehow been able to keep a relatively steady hand."

Bear Hands consists of Dylan Rau (vocals and guitar), Val Loper (bass), Ted Feldman (guitar), and TJ Orscher (drums). Forming in 2006, they are based out of Brooklyn, New York. They released their first album in 2010 and it was called "Burning Bush Supper Club". Bear Hands followed this up in 2014 with their critically acclaimed sophomore album, "Distraction." This collection enjoyed healthy radio airplay, notching a Top 10 hit with "Giants" and a Top 20 single with "Agora," the latter of which they performed on Conan, marking their late night TV debut.

Bear Hands also built an impressive live resume, touring with acts as diverse as Cage The Elephant, Killer Mike and Passion Pit, as well as securing slots on all of the "can't miss" festivals like Coachella, Lollapalooza, Reading & Leeds, Outside Lands, Life Is Beautiful and Made in America's Philadelphia edition.

Bear Hands are hitting the road this spring with Cage The Elephant, Silversun Pickups, and Foals!
