Minus the Bear recording

Contributed by aubin. Posted by brian on Thursday, January 6, 2005 at 12:07 PM (EST)

Minus the Bear has posted an update on their website:

Today is the day we start recording our next full length release. At the moment we have 13 or 14 songs and we are stoked to get started.

The band released their last full length record, Highly Refined Pirates in 2003. The as-yet-untitled record will presumably be released on Arena Rock Recordings who also released the They Make Beer Commercials Like This EP last year.

oh god this is going to be so good

BizzleBrizzle (January 6, 2005)

I love this band.

Someone (January 6, 2005)

tis a shame their excellent EP WASNT EVEN REVIEWED... pffft

Chad (January 6, 2005)

http://pastepunk.com/viewcdreview.php?id=1309 i reviewed it.

Someone (January 6, 2005)

No. The EP dipshit

Someone (January 6, 2005)

... it.. is the EP, but I was referencing moreso to -this- website's lack of reviews. And don't use the "they didn't send us the album" excuse... a "news" site is supposed to go out and dig up information, not wait for it to be placed on its doorstep. Recent downfall of PN.org: lack of finding new up and comers, and the increasing occurence of low quality reviews, which i think may be caused by Scott's "absence", but whatever.

Someone (January 7, 2005)

the reviews are fine, there's plenty of small new bands reviewed...it's the people dragging it down.

Costanza (January 6, 2005)

This bands EP fucking slayed everything that came out this year. Not making anyone's "best of" list is just fucking stupid.

BizzleBrizzle (January 6, 2005)

It made mine you fucking ass eater. 10.)Wrangler Brutes - Zulu 9.)Sex Positions - Self-Titled 8.)The Gamits - Antidote 7.)Pulley - Matters 6.)Rise Against - Siren Song Of The Counterculture 5.)Still Crossed - Love and Betrayl 4.)Minus The Bear - They Make Beer Commericals Like This 3.)Only Crime - To The Nines 2.)Dillinger Escape Plan - Miss Machine 1.)Strung Out - Exile In Oblivion NUMBER FUCKING FOUR

Someone (January 6, 2005)

Thats not good enough. Kill yourself. Can someone explain to me why someone would ever eat canned fruit?

BizzleBrizzle (January 6, 2005)

It would have been 2 or 3 if it were a full length.

littleblackridinghood (January 6, 2005)

where has this secret stach of punknews users with intelligence been hiding? we should band together and fight the idiocy that runs rampant here.

Kenjamin (January 6, 2005)

why do you have a link for microsoft.com?

littleblackridinghood (January 6, 2005)

no reason, just trying to be a dick, but failing at it mayb? i dunno

slippy (January 6, 2005)

Without idiocy, there could be no intelligence.

ThreeChordsAndTheTruth (January 6, 2005)

I can't wait to see what they call this record and the songs. Not to mention hearing their boner-inducing music again.

Josiah (January 6, 2005)

cannot wait for this... so good.

Someone (January 6, 2005)

when i hear this i wish i was 'minus the ear'! no doubt. nah in real life i've never heard this stuff.

Someone (January 6, 2005)

you ignorant slut

Someone (January 6, 2005)

the new song they played when i saw them a couple of months ago was awesome. i think it is called "drilling". -greyicewater

maverick (scott) (January 7, 2005)

Yeah, that song rules. It has two false endings! -Scott

Someone (January 6, 2005)

it's not going to be on Arena Rock though, which is good 'cause that label sucks and does nothing for their bands. So I've heard.

everytimeiwin (January 6, 2005)

i just came

Bryne (January 6, 2005)

Fuck yeah.

Someone (January 6, 2005)

now this is a band people would be justified in being obsessed over and the lack of the beer commercials EP on the end of the year lists was ridiculous

BizzleBrizzle (January 6, 2005)

If you like these guys check out Sharks Keep Moving, guys from Minus The Bear were in Sharks Keep Moving, SKM also had The Blood Brothers' bassist.

Someone (January 6, 2005)

yeah it. was just their singer jake. i bought two of their cd's and didn't quite dig it.

_Sexy_Pants_ (January 6, 2005)

Amazon recommended me that. Amazon is so fucking punk

Someone (January 6, 2005)

BizzleBizzle: aka Amazon

BizzleBrizzle (January 6, 2005)

what? I did not get that from Amazon at all, someone else told me about it.

Someone (January 7, 2005)

hey, i just said you were the biggest online retailer that exists.. take it as a compliment.... amazon

Costanza (January 6, 2005)

is there a vid of ashlee simpson getting booed?

Someone (January 6, 2005)

http://www.lipsync.us/ anyhow, Minus The Bear fucking rocks. Can't wait to hear some new material.

Icapped2pac (January 6, 2005)

Aus-some. This makes me want to take my bike over a sweet jump.

Someone (January 6, 2005)

What would recommend for a first time listener?

Someone (January 6, 2005)

Someone (January 6, 2005)

Someone (January 6, 2005)

Someone (January 6, 2005)

Your mom goes to college.

Someone (January 7, 2005)

the napoleon dynamite quotes are gonna get old so fast... aw well "pedro offers you his protection"

BizzleBrizzle (January 6, 2005)

I sure hope this is a joke since Minus The Bear ooozes talent.

Someone (January 7, 2005)

You could say they suck, thats really purely opinon. But have you seen their lead play, the ex-Botch guy? He plays the damn piano on the thing. Even if you're a decent finger-tapper, this guy is very special.

Someone (January 6, 2005)

I heard about this on indieshitrocknews.org

SteveJonesTheRealBones (January 6, 2005)

minus the bear?...more like add the bore. hahahahahahahahahah naw. jk. these guys are allright - jones the bones - stevejones8770@yahoo.com - purevolume.com/smashthemagnavox

Kenjamin (January 6, 2005)

Someone (January 7, 2005)
