Angry Vs The Bear is frantic. It's noisy. It's fizzy electro punk-tinged pop. The female fronted group have been together 3 years and have released 2 singles in the UK. The first 'Show Emotion' was picked up by Radio 1 DJ Huw Stephens who made it his Record Of The Week.

The band showcased twice at the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas to unprecedented sold out crowds and Gibson named them their band of the festival. AVB have toured the UK 3 times including numerous festival slots and supported many bands such as Florence And The Machine, The Futureheads, Juliette Lewis, The Hoosiers, Dirty Pretty Things, Twenty Twenty, Neon Trees, Ben's Brother etc.

The Band's music is currently the title track on a global TV advertising campaign for Investec bank which is being shown on channels worldwide and in Odeon Cinemas.

AVB have also seen their music used in online campaigns for Karen Millen and River Island aswell as a national TV ad campaign for Chappelfield Shopping Village.

The band are fiercely proud of their live performances and use innovative technology to ensure their original sound continues to grow with them. This no doubt helped them beat off 100's of other bands to win the 'Best UK Act' award at this year's Rock The House awards ceremony, a Government run initiative judged by top UK major label A&R, Live Nation, Raw Power Management & The Cavern Club, Liverpool. This also made them the first band in history to play a gig at the House of Commons.

New single 'London Town' out soon.
