Swimming With Bears is a soulful alternative rock band originally from Seguin, Texas and now based out of Cibolo, Texas. Their inspirations include Kings Of Leon, Temper Trap, Explosions In The Sky, This Will Destroy You, Two Door Cinema Club, and many more. Favorite thing about writing and performing music is The opportunity and chance to be heard.
On their new self-titled EP, Swimming With Bears deliver a batch of five songs that showcase the next chapter as a band: truth and escapism. But beneath the vulnerability and personal lyrics are upbeat and fun tracks that everyone can relate to.
Vocals were amazing and band all together sounded badass! I hope more people can hear these guys 👏🏻Swimming With Bears shared the stage with Dossey and Flora & Fawna at the Haute Spot.
