- I N F O -

Original , that’s the one word that come to mind when one thinks of “ The Bunny The Bear “ I have seen literally thousands and thousands of acts and artists and one word comes to mind over and over again ,original . The Bunny The Bear is a genre defying act and I am very happy to review their forth full length release which will be available via Victory Records on March 18 .The band started in 2008 as a collaboration between The Bunny aka Matthew Tybor and The Bear aka Chris Hutka and the band has grown and matured leaps and bounds since their humble beginnings and is now poised for musical world domination . Ladies and gentleman I present to you “ Food Chain “ The title track “ Food Chain “ opens up the disk with soft piano and immediately burst into the aggressive vocals styling’s of Tybor along with machine gun type guitars . Up next is “ The Seeds We Sow “ and the beautiful angelic voice of Hutka starts off the track however the verse melody of Matt Tybor was a unique surprise .This is the most radio friendly song I have really heard from them with the lyrics giving opposing points of view .The moody and surreal “ Cancer “ follows next . Even thou the band that is providing studio work is not listed on this download I would like to say they are outstanding musicians and the pure emotion heard in the music is heartfelt .I really like the song “ Cancer “ and this is an excellent follow up to the “ Stories “ album . The electro dance inspired “ Pale Green Eyes “ is pretty aggressive with great hooks and changes . The intense overload of “ So Smooth ,So Appealing “ is like looking at a crowd of people and trying to find one in a massive crowd . There is a lot musically going on with this song but some how the band makes it work .The melody finally comes through in a vision of beauty . The soft beautiful voices of a children chorus opens up “ A Mothers Love “ and albeit is a very short song its almost like a mental pause to have you reflect upon own thoughts on being a child . The computer inspired “ First Met You “ is a little pop number with catchy riffs and chorus . I could definitely see this in a movie . The ominous “ Skyscraper “ is a dark and moody number with highs that soar as high as a skyscraper and yes the pun was intended . “ Up next is “ Flying Like A Bird “ is a whirlwind of musical stimulus and it a little hard to follow but its has a great chorus . The track “ High Tides and Swimming Conditions “ is another radio friendly type song and I am glad because I would like this band to get some mainstream success .The verse and chorus work great together and the melody is uplifting . The last song is “ Lost “ and it’s a great choice as a closer for this album .I found this album to be less aggressive then some of their past releases however the musical writing has grown and matured a great deal . I would recommend this disk to anyone but when alone or on a long drive will really deliver its full impact.

Close your eyes and let's take a journey to a plush, green forest, with the sun shining bright and birds chirping with glee. You are strolling along, admiring the calm scenery around you, when suddenly, a horrifying, high-pitched scream breaks the silence. Breaking out in a run, you search frantically for the animal that had expelled this bone-chilling yelp, only to find a bunny, with hellfire in his cold, doe eyes, as it continues to scream bloody murder. Rubbing your eyes in disbelief, you hear an entrancingly clean melody in the distance. Turning the corner, you are face-to-face with a monstrous bear, and while you should be terrified, you are intrigued by the animals, listening to a sound you had never heard before. Curious, you sit and listen as the bunny and the bear fill the forest air with their symphony of sounds. Now open your eyes. The scene you just imagined takes human form in violent, post-hardcore duo THE BUNNY THE BEAR, who have been steadily climbing the food chain since 2008. With masks at the ready, THE BUNNY THE BEAR expels a breed of experimental hardcore the likes of which the music industry has never encountered before.


In 2008, Matthew Tybor, more commonly known as ?The Bunny?, began collecting members for his newest project. But what is a bunny without his bear? Desperate to find his ferocious counterpart, The Bunny's prayers were answered by the addition of Chris Hutka, The BearSporting a plastic bunny and bear mask respectively, Tybor's piercing screams seemed to be complimented perfectly by Hutka's strong, clean vocals, and with that, THE BUNNY THE BEAR was let out of its cage. Harnessing their primal artistry, the guys began recording material in 2010, broadcasting their creativity through blasts of electronic triggers. Their blending of hardcore, metal, and electronic genres lifted critics speechless, unsure of how to classify the band. The Bunny has taken it upon himself to offer some sort of method to their musical madness saying, "To put it simply, we are weird. If I had to describe it? heavy, electronic and experimental. I write whatever the F&*$ I want. There's a bit of everything." So with beats in their heads and lyrics at their tongues, THE BUNNY THE BEAR caught the attention of top execs and signed to Victory Records February in 2011.

Reminding us all to mind our manners, the duo released If You Don't Have Anything Nice to Say... on September 30th, 2011, just a couple months after their signing. Caught off guard by their experimental image and sound, critics were unsure how to approach critiquing a genre never achieved before. Quickly gaining a loyal fan base, the animal duo delivered one energy-filled performance after another, proving their unique styles transcend their studio recordings. THE BUNNY THE BEAR released their sophomore Victory album, The Stomach For It on May 22nd, 2012. Pianos, electronic overdrives, chugging, and sweet melodies are welcomed as breaths of fresh air in a genre full of unnecessary breakdowns. One year later, the band released Stories, and demonstrated a newfound strength in producing melodic harmonies that were both energetic and unexpected. In an era when every band looks and sounds the same, crowds everywhere are embracing their individualism with arms open wide.

Out for blood, THE BUNNY THE BEAR promises to continue to rip your ears a new one with their forthcoming effort, Food Chain, a welcomed return to the chaotic duality they introduced years ago. To be released March 18th, THE BUNNY THE BEAR will proudly remind you why they stand at the top of the Food Chain.
