Bear Hands

Bear Hands achieved a significant career milestone in mid-2014 when their single ‘Giants’ reached a top-ten position on the Alternative Songs chart. The American experimental rock band, known for its contributions to the indie rock and post-punk genres, began performing and recording in 2006. Their early work included the release of their first EP, ‘Golden’, which quickly garnered them attention as a ‘New York buzz band’ through popular blog features. In 2010, Bear Hands signed with Cantora Records, coinciding with the release of their single ‘What a Drag.’ The same year, they released their debut LP, ‘Burning Bush Supper Club’.

Following their debut, Bear Hands toured extensively as a supporting act for notable artists such as Passion Pit, GZA, and We Were Promised Jetpacks, significantly expanding their audience. This period of widespread touring also saw the band making prominent live appearances, including a live session at KEXP on April 1, 2014, and an appearance on the late-night talk show ‘Conan’ on October 27, 2014. Throughout their career, Bear Hands has been a staple at major music festivals, performing at the Reading and Leeds Festivals in 2009, and later at Coachella, Lollapalooza, and the Lowlands Festival in 2014. Their album ‘Distraction’ was also released in 2014, further solidifying their presence.

This new partnership coincided with the release of their latest studio album, ‘The Key to What,’ in 2024. Bear Hands continues to solidify their position in the experimental rock and indie scene with a consistent release schedule and regular festival appearances, showcasing their enduring appeal and artistic evolution.
