Nick WantlandMostly Bears are an experimental rock group from Tucson, Arizona. Their music is a difficult to categorize fusion between alternative, progressive and newer indie rock, like "Radiohead circa 1996 getting in a gang-fight with Arcade Fire."[1]
The band began playing at parties and locally in Tucson before releasing Only Child, a four-song EP in July 2007. The album was well received by local press and has begun to attract a following on college campuses from coast to coast.[2][3] Tucson Weekly awarded Mostly Bears '2007 Best New Band or Artist'.[4]
The band has recently completed a West Coast tour and released their first full-length album The Ed Mitchell Clinic on April 22, 2008.[5] The song Melancholyism is the first single off their new album.
