Scare Bears: Worse for Everyone – scorching debut E.P. reviewed

Scare Bears: Worse for Everyone – scorching debut E.P. reviewed

Opening track ‘Scapegoat’ is a heart fully on sleeve response to the rise of the far right and its claim to genuinely care about the welfare of women. For its deep dive into the personal, it becomes a sharp social commentary delivered through an intelligently formed lyrical narrative

Drinking in a dingy bar by the sea, crumpled postcard from Her and World’s Biggest Ray Zero for company; then the son of a starts saying I’m cursed. Praise Be to lighting-up another smoke. Inhale, taste a foul brand: the Hex She put on me. Promised Heaven, delivered a dive nightclub Hell. Thank the Lord for liquor loving hot chicks. Though nothing compares to how it’ll feel catching up with Her.

Then a Police Chief with a saggy old treasure chest of secrets to keep needs a scapegoat. Dumps me in the middle of corruption so deep it eases through bone to suck greedy at marrow. With every gun pointing my way, Hell, not even He’s gonna get me outta this one.
