Minus The Bear - Hold Me Down

Minus The Bear released the single Into The Mirror in late 2009.  It was ok but it didn't blow me away.  This latest offering, Hold Me Down http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQiDpZJoQvE
is much better and it is available on a free ep via their website.

Founded in 2001, Minus The Bear are a Seattle based indie rock band.  And if you are wondering where the name came from..  The name "Minus the Bear" comes from an in joke among the band members, referring to the 70's television programme, BJ and the Bear. "A friend of the band had gone on a date,” explains singer-guitarist Jake Snider, "and one of us asked him afterwards how the date went. Our friend said, 'You know that TV show from the '70s B.J. and The Bear? It was like that... minus The Bear.' That’s the straight truth." (from Wikipedia)
