China Bears

Originally formed in Somerset by twin brothers Ivan & Frazer, the line up was complete in late 2015 after meeting James and Dean at university in Guildford, UK. China Bears have spent the last few years playing extensively around the UK, with notable support slots for bands such as: Genghar, The Districts, To Kill A King, Geneva, Neon Waltz and The Howl & The Hum.

After self-releasing 3 singles the alt-indie four-piece teamed up with Fierce Panda Records for the release of their debut EP ‘I’ve Never Met Anyone Like You’, picking up attention from the likes of BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio 1, BBC Introducing, Gigwise & Radio X. Last year the quartet performed a live session for Steve Lamacq on BBC Radio 6 Music in support of a trio of singles; ‘I’m Not Eating Like I Used To’, ‘Statue Still’ and ‘Jolene’, which were released throughout 2020.

China Bears will be bringing their stadium sized anthems around the world having announced a headline UK tour for Feb 2022 which includes a date at The Lexington, London before they head to Austin, Texas for SXSW 2022 in March and with new music on the horizon at the start of the year, 2022 is set to be a big year for the band.

‘the group sounds fully in command of a big, vibrant sound that calls on its influences — just about any anthemic indie-rock band of this century — while still sounding distinct’ – NPR
