....bearhug.................. bearhug are Spunk's latest signing from Aussie shores. Since featured on the Spunk Singles Club (February, 2009) we've been watching them mature into one of the most exciting and promising young Australian bands (think Guided By Voices for a new generation of young and carefree kids.) Following the release of their EP 'To Anything', 2010 saw the band land support slots for the likes of Broken Social Scene and Built to Spill. Rounding out the year by touring across the country with Philadelphia Grand Jury the band are now busy working on material for their first album. .. .. .. ......bearhug 'To Anything' EP (2010)........ .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... .. .. .. ......Nice Words About Us........ .. .. ....TRIPLE J.... .. .. .. ....THE BRAG.... .. .. .. ....MESS AND NOISE.... .. .. .. ....TWO THOUSAND.... .. .. .. ....POLAROIDS OF ANDROIDS.... .. .. .. ....ROSE QUARTZ.... .. .. .. ....FASTER LOUDER.... .. .. .. ....WHO THE HELL.. .. .. .. ..Copy and Paste Link to Download Free DEMO EP Cartoon Islands (2008)-.. ..http://www.mediafire.com/file/3jjtzmfdzz3/Cartoon Islands.zip.. ........ ............ .. -
