Download   |   Stream

"Galactic-Forest Rock" is the term used by Golden Bear to describe their sound. The band ties together themes of triumph, hope and excitement, along with rocking anthemic riffs and bombastic beats to create a melodious roar. This roar, combined with Golden Bear's reputation for over-the-top and unpredictable performances has won the group the affection of many music lovers in its Texas hometown.

Press for Golden Bear:

"Guitar-swinging, trumpet-blasting orgy of anthemic pop... A blur of frenzied dancing and fist-pumping excitement."
- SPIN.COM

"(Golden Bear) avoids the power-pop trap, moving through forests of fuzz with wild, often makeshift instrumentation... Bear with this record and the fruit shall appear."
- MAGNET MAGAZINE

"Golden Bear take their grizzly moniker seriously."
- ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY ONLINE

"Completely original and instantly memorable."
- THE ONION

"Endless Potential... Simply Genius."
- TINY MIX TAPES

"Songs this strong generate a motion and power of their own, powered by a seemingly endless wellspring of hooks and asides... Golden Bear easily can give the sainted Arcade Fire a run for their money in tunes, energy and sheer exuberance. (****)"
- Joe Gross, AUSTIN AMERICAN-STATESMAN

"Golden Bear doesn't fit into any mold."
- THE AUSTIN CHRONICLE
