British Folk Rock duo Bears Den are on the road again after announcing a 40 date tour to accompany the release of the new album So That You Might Hear Me which will be arriving on the 26th April 2019. The tour started in the Netherlands on the 1st of April and finishes in Los Angeles mid June and covers Europe, UK, USA and Canada....Bears Den have new music and they want the world to hear it!

After a four month wait, ticket holders rejoiced as IDLES once again travelled the well trodden streets of the UK gig circuit treating venues to incendiary performances that literally shook their inner cores. Having kicked off the UK leg of their 2019 tour in Sheffield the night before, we were lined up outside The Tramshed in the heart of Cardiff to witness THE most important band on the planet perform to a sold out audience….

I received an email out of the blue a few weeks ago from a guy who’s in a band called THE EXPERIMENTAL, he said that we’d met at the South West Music Expo in Bath a while ago and I must admit that having met loads of talented people that day, I can’t say I recall the encounter. Fast forward a few weeks and I find myself driving to Totnes to attend the launch party of ‘What Do We Want’, the new album by The Experimental, I was running late and I half hoped that they were also running behind schedule as I really wanted to check out all three acts on the bill!

I was quite excited to listen to this newest band from Copenhagen, Denmark, I eagerly await the sounds of the first track, "Rumours".  I am greeted warmly with a beauteous piano, emitting minor chords as it paces through a slow yet steady introduction.... Which then leads us to a barrage of instruments, all played ideally and quite well, giving me just a taste of what this magnanimous, introspective and unique band has to offer.
