Introducing... Eliza and the Bear

London based band, Eliza and the Bear, have been around since 2011 but are now making a real impact on the music scene. With this year seeing them appear at festivals all over the place, support the likes of Paramore in places such as Wembley Arena and now they're being talked about a lot.

  

Consisting of 5 members, it's no wonder they have become someone to watch as they released their single 'Friends' this year. Close to an indie anthem, this was the soundtrack to Summer for many and caused great emotions to run through everybody who clicked play on their Soundcloud as soon as it went up. Full of deep feelings mixed with slightly chilling loops and warming vocals, it's no wonder that this song appears to be one of celebration and everything around us that we may not always appreciate. Creating that connection between the band and all their listeners, it's no wonder the fan base is growing bigger and bigger every day.

Soon to be on many people's 'Sound of 2014' list, Eliza and the Bear are definitely contenders to be one of the best who put out some rich but textured singles that subtly create a huge buzz around them. For the next 12 months, it's not about what they're going to do but how they're going to do it. Finishing this year off with a headline show at The Garage in Islington, London to celebrate the past few months, it's likely to kick off a whirlwind of the biggest moments of their life.
