Prior to releasing their debut EP in 2016, the Austin based four-piece, Swimming With Bears, had been working tirelessly to hone in on their unique alternative soul sound. Following a run of residencies in several Texas cities, as well as appearances at some of Austin’s most renowned venues, the band was invited to open for Weezer and Panic! At The Disco in early June. With a newly released, self-titled EP, the band is set to embark on their first ever national tour throughout July and August. The EP, which features lead single “Shiver and Crawl,” was produced by Matt Novesky (Blue October).
Swimming With Bears consists of Joe Perry (vocals/bass), Alec Conte (guitar), Jon Kerr (guitar) and Ryan Hannasch (drums).
WILD LOVE
Inspired by bands like the Arctic Monkeys, The Kooks, Franz Ferdinand and Kings of Leon, Wild Love has created an explosive blend of indie rock and pop hooks that has brought their explosive, sex-tinged, sing-along parties at their live shows to tours across the UK, US and Ireland.
Hailing from Ireland, Brandon (Frontman) met Si (Bassist) and Nolan (Drummer) both from Turkey and Germany respectively after they all moved to Virginia. After high school, the boys decided to make the move to Nashville, TN to play aloungside and learn from the best in music. Shortly after moving, the band released their debut album, Where Do We Go from Here, recorded in its entirety in the corner bedroom of their apartment.
After the release of the album, the band introduced guitarist, Michael, from New York to the lineup. Since then, they were finalists in Lightning 100’s Music City Mayhem and are currently heading into the studio to record new music and shows to be announced soon.
