Biography

Edit

Seattle indie-rock band Minus The Bear delve into math-rock in the way they frequently change time signature; punk-funk in the way these rhythmic changes are often danceable; and prog rock in the sense that any rock band who knows what a time signature is might be attributed this much-maligned tag for having the temerity to prefer calculating structures over flat-out rockin'. But Minus The Bear don't stick to prog-rock stereotypes of po-faced sobriety when it comes to their 'art' - an early Minus The Bear EP was named Bands Like It When You Yell "Yar!" At Them, while song titles often have amusing names like "Pantsuit… Uggghhh" and "I'm Totally Not Down with Rob's Alien".
