Stop-start boy-girl rock-cutie-killer six-piece BEARSUIT mix everything from cinematic waltzes to catchy electro disco and hard punk screaming riot grrl noise. A mix of Belle and Sebastian, Huggy Bear, and Sonic Youth with electronic twists and turns, and screamy art punk. Since playing their first gig in 2001 the band have notched up four Peel sessions and three Festive 50 top five hits, including the number 2 slot in 2004 with their latest single Chargr. After five singles, and an EP on a variety of labels (including Magoo's Sickroom Gramophone Collective) 2004 saw the release of their debut "Cat Spectacular!" on Fortuna Pop! Recently released in the USA it’s currently on rotation at more than 60 radio stations across the country. Live, Bearsuit employ a variety of outlandish stage gear - blood soaked prom dresses, 'nurses of death' outfits and silver bear-bot wear to name but a few - creating a live show like no other. Indie-pop madness at it's chaotic best!
"In an era when almost everything is quite like something else,
Bearsuit are not quite like anything." John Peel
Support comes from mind-bending Anti-Folk eccentrics MISTERLEE and dissonant avant-rock sprogs LAND AHOY!
