Bear Hands

Bear Hands is an indie rock band that hails from Brooklyn, New York. Formed in 2006, the group consists of Dylan Rau (vocals and guitar), Val Loper (bass), Ted Feldman (guitar), and TJ Orscher (drums). The band initially gained attention with their idiosyncratic style and energetic live shows, which led to the release of their "Golden EP" in 2007—a debut that showcased their blend of post-punk, electronic, and indie-pop influences. Over time, Bear Hands began to solidify their sound, a process that culminated in their first full-length album "Burning Bush Supper Club" in 2010, which was well-received for its catchy hooks and thoughtful lyricism.

Through the years, Bear Hands continued to explore and evolve their sound with subsequent albums such as "Distraction" in 2014, which featured the single "Giants" that sealed their break into mainstream recognition. The remixes of the track by artists like Adrian Lux and The Knocks further popularized their work and demonstrated the group's versatility and appeal across different musical spectrums. "You'll Pay For This" released in 2016 and "Fake Tunes" in 2019 further showcased their polished production and mature songwriting, solidifying Bear Hands' position in the indie rock landscape. Not just restricted to studio success, the band released "Songs from Utopia, Vol. 1" as a testament to their reflective and introspective songwriting capabilities. With each release, Bear Hands prove their ability to craft infectious melodies while tackling introspective and societal themes, cementing their status as a band with both broad appeal and critical acclaim.
