Short biography/description of the band:
Hello Bear play their own brand of Post-Sad core fun pop. The band (as a unit) was born in early 2010 just as the weather started getting warmer.The band have toured the UK, had numerous air play on various BBC shows and established student radio stations, played festivals alongside The Futureheads and Darwin Deez to name but a few.
They enjoy long walks on the beach, cups of tea and pints of rum. They’re here to bridge the gap between make-up-wearing boys and pint-drinking-girls.
