Lyrics: 
How we go from here isn't any clearer than before
Miles of endless silence just tiny islands of light in the cold
And there's still nowhere left to go

Now the old way of doing some things needs changing
Only the truth will remain when the rains come rolling on
Wash yourself clean of the dream there's someone else to blame

The exit is well behind us and all the signs say turn around
Cause there's still nowhere left to go

Now the old way of doing some things needs changing
Only the truth will remain when the rains come rolling on
Wash yourself clean of the dream there's someone else to blame

Now the old way of doing some things needs changing
Only the truth will remain when the rains come rolling on
Wash yourself clean of the dream there's someone else to blame

How We Go

Overseas

Open Windows

Whether you are heading towards something, or driving away from something, a nice highway song will always take you someplace.

Relative

Inspired by the novel written by Bradford C. Philen, Autumn Falls puts to song the story of one mans search for meaning, justice, and his acknowledgment of the vulnerability of existence.

Autumn Falls

"I step up to the edge and look down,
take a step back and kiss the ground.
 
It takes my breath, there's no denying.
If you do it right it's terrifying."

Small Enough

Whiskey Bear is a 4-piece folk band comprised of expats from Scotland (Emma Swinnerton) and the US (Nicole Gough, Carl Strycharske, and Michael Williams) and based in sunny Manila, Philippines. While Manila may seem an unusual place for a folk band with bluegrass tendencies, they find that bluegrass thrives in tropical climates. Their debut album, Hill Shack Arson, is a look into life for those who have left their home for the joys and struggles that come with such a bold choice. The album is unapologetically folk and veers between country and rock as it combines Americana tendencies with the haunting sounds of the Scottish Isles. Driving bass lines and swelling harmonies anchor folk melodies that range from meandering and whimsical to moody and razor sharp.

Thanks to Raul Cedo Jr. for being an amazing sound engineer - it was an honor to work with you. Thanks also to Angel and Leo at Studio M, Winnie Wong and her team at Penelope Pop for album artwork, and Brandon Hoover for band photography.
