Jessica, James and Jason of the South Wales valleys write and perform original rawk music. We like it loud. 

I like to mess about with noises and try to make them sound nice/ and or wobbly / noisy in my spare time.

Bear Island are an aggressive-indie band hailing from Cardiff and Bristol. Established in 2013, they hit the South Wales music scene compounding indie, pop & post-hardcore influences to make cutting, melodic songs executed live with energy & aggression.

Influenced by the likes of Foals, Biffy Clyro and Queens of the Stone Age, Bear Island blend bouncy verses with surging anthemic choruses, sparking frantic live shows and a genuine party atmosphere.

Bear Island have recently been featured on Nation Radio and Wales Online: Best New Music in Wales playlists, reviewed by Noel Gardner of Buzz Magazine and also interviewed by WeAreCardiff and The Music Spot Magazine.

About For Fans of Bands

The aim of this site is to connect musicians and bands with other musicians and bands around the country/world with the purpose of making contact and orgainising tours and out of town shows. 

Each profile page has a photo gallery, a short bio, spaces for what sort of help you can offer other bands, and what you are looking for from them, and 3 spaces for uploadable tracks. All bands must have 3 tracks or their profile will not be made public. 

The important section is the influences section where you can fill in 10 bands you feel best represent your sound, influences and style. Remember don't just go with the generic big bands that are currently polluting the airwaves. Use real bands that inspire you and make you want to make music. The more obscure they are the more likely you are to find someone worth dealing with. Of course there's nothing wrong with using the radio friendly favourites but they may lead you into a world of constant, unwanted "compliments". 

When searching, simply type the city you are looking for and the name of a band you feel would be worth working with if you had the chance. If indeed there is a band in that city who lists the same band in their FFOB section then they will pop up in your search. Again use more popular band to find a lot of bands or if you are looking for something more specific then pick something less well known.
