Leeds’ Bear Driver are currently riding a wave of hype that sees them as one of the most hotly tipped bands this summer.
The psychedelic six-piece release their debut single, “Wolves” on July 5 and, having already impressed the likes of Steve Lamacq, Huw Stephens, John Kennedy and Tom Robinson, it might do the unthinkable and amount to more than just hot air. Including gang vocals, sparkling keyboards and a hotpot of musical weirdness, their unique take on the alt-rock genre will please fans of groups like Arcade Fire and Broken Social scene. They’ve already supported Bombay Bicycle Club, Everything Everything and Goldheart Assembly so, with so much widespread support, it seems almost ludicrous that Bear Driver won’t fulfil their destiny.
Alternatively, they’ve also released a free-download called “A Thousand Samurais”, click here.
