Bear Away - Modern Mountains

  


  Bear Away (https://www.facebook.com/bearawaymusic) are the Scarborough/Leeds melodic punk quartet who I previously featured on here a couple of years whilst drawing your attention to their album A Drastic Tale Of Western Living

  They've released a handful of tracks since then which you can find on Bandcamp       https://bearaway.bandcamp.com/

  The song I'm sharing today features on an upcoming 7 song compilation from Sell The Heart Records titled A 7 Step Guide To Happiness. It also features the likes of Her Head's On Fire, Neckscars, Shotclock etc and you can find it here 

  It's about "...the prisons we build for ourselves. That’s what the ‘modern mountains’ are, these massive ugly buildings in which we spend decades of our lives making ourselves miserable to serve a purpose we don’t even believe in." 

  It's called Modern Mountains...

Bear Away - When The Earth Turns Slow

  

  "You were the light in the room..."

 
  Bear Away (https://www.facebook.com/bearawaymusic) are a four piece melodic punk band from Scarborough, North Yorkshire. They've been around since 2019 and feature a line up of Dom Brining (guitar/vocals), Jacob Thundercliffe (guitar/vocals), James Charnock (drums/vocals) & Lewis Ward (bass). 

  They've just released a debut album titled A Drastic Tale Of Western Living and you'll love it. It's 10 tracks of beautifully crafted, singalong anthems. It's a joint release from Brassneck Records (UK), Engineer Records (UK), Sell The Heart Records (USA), Shield Recordings (EU) & Waterslide Records (Japan) and you can get it on vinyl (yellow or black), cd or digital download  https://bearaway.bandcamp.com/album/a-drastic-tale-of-western-living


  It's pretty much impossible to choose a favourite track, the standard is uniformly high throughout. I played Unless That Rainbow Is Black and Filled With Knives! on a recent show and the chatroom folk loved it. I'm sure they'll be equally enamoured with this one on next week's show. Fully utilising the vocal talents of the band's multiple singers, it's called When the Earth Turns Slow...
