Faux Bear

One man punk / rock / indie band from Oldbury, UK. Socially awkward, left leaning, artistically overreaching.
Schools closed. I've had a snowball fight with my daughters, now I'm sat in the warm and they're outside building a snowman.
Winter? Completed it, mate.

Really sad to hear that Scott Sorry has passed away, 'When We Were Kings' is a near perfect album and has been on regular rotation since it was released in 2016. RIP.

'This Album is Not One of Your Five a Day' out now. Fifteen tracks of kick ass punk rock, alternative rock shenanigans and goofy "well ain't I just bloody hilarious" fun. Press play, turn it up to an exceptable volume and rock out responsibly.

I recently reconnected with a guy I haven't seen for years (we didn't fall out, like just took us in different directions). He mentioned he'd listen to my last album and said it reminded him of Fugazi with a bit of a Wildhearts feel. I'll take that.

I am hopeless at social media.
Whenever I release music I put a couple of videos on TikTok, pictures on other sites, and I'm done.
You see posts on Tiktok, "Stop scrolling, we could be your new favourite band."
If I did one of those, it'd be more, "I'm not your dad, listen to what you want."

Why is no one in the media telling these politicians that fraud within the benefit system is incredibly low due to the fact that getting the benefit is incredibly difficult.
Putting people through the stress of will they/won't they be plunging me into insurmountable poverty is so incredibly cruel.

Told by my doctors receptionist yesterday that the x-ray I had done Monday morning could take 3 months to get to the doctors for them to look at.
That seems... inefficient?

Work on the new album has stalled a little while I get my shoulder xrayed.
Broke it last year and was recovering well.
A couple of weeks ago someone drove into the back of my car while I sat at a red light. Shoulder feels a tiny bit... fucked (that's a medical term).

In a bid to tidy up my streaming services page, I've removed all of the early singles and EP's and put them in one collection. Finishes with my cover of Strawberry Switchblade's awesome 'Since Yesterday'.

Taken from the fifth Faux Bear album, Inverse Provocative, released on January 6th, 2025.
I don't think I need to explain what this song is about. I have two daughters, and I hate the world the way it is.

Taken from the fourth Faux Bear album, Angel Meat, released on October 10th, 2024.
This song was inspired by the riots in the summer of that year and is about how the far right emerges periodically and is always quashed back down.

Taken from the third Faux Bear album, Dead Songs, released on August 3rd, 2024.
This album was a re-recording of an album of demos I made in 2009/2010 and had on a CDr in a box for a decade. Attempts to re-record it were hampered but a pandemic, homelessness, and a broken shoulder.

This one is for hay-fever sufferers; often overlooked in the punk rock world. I'm trying to set that straight.
