A power-pop/jangle-pop band on the surface, but KBB's admiration for alt-country is hard to miss. This style of pop will appeal to fans of the Old 97's, Pernice Brothers, Minus 5, and the Model Rockets.

notes
Killed by Bears is comprised of four of the five members of respected Portland indie-folk band "Dearest, Crown". Over five years "D,C" recorded two albums and performed throughout the Northwest. "Dearest, Crown" was a band difficult to categorize; a mix of folk, bluegrass, and bowed instruments, the music delightfully blurred traditional classifications (chamber pop, avant-folk, and space-grass among them). As Killed by Bears, the musicians find themselves down one member, with a new name, and led by a new songwriter with an unapologetic love for the jangle/power-pop of the 80s and 90s. Listening to KBB, it is hard to miss the alt-country harmonies and folk influences of "Dearest, Crown", but the mandolins and fiddles have been cautiously put aside for louder amplifiers and plugged-in guitars. And while KBB has successfully found a way to fit more squarely into the world of indie-pop, they have done so without losing the endearing alt-country ballads, mid-tempo jangle, creative instrumentation, and passion for music that made "D,C" so appealing. Killed by Bears released their eponymous debut CD in the summer of 2007.

Just Great!
author: Stephen Ginochio - Three Dimensional BlackboardA thoroughly enjoyable and melodic lo-fi indie rock record from start to finish. There's not a bad song in the bunch! I hear echoes of Nothing Painted Blue, Sloan, and a bevy of alt-country troubadors in their writing. Will they ever be heard from again? I sure hope so.
