Scottish four piece rock band Hunter &
The Bear's explosive new single Chemical is out
now. Released ahead of a October UK headline tour that has seen tickets fly
following performances at TRSMT Festival and Belladrum where
the band played to packed tents of enthusiastic fans.
Speaking about the making of the track singer Will
Irvine said, "We’ve been keeping this under wraps for what
feels like forever. It’s been like one of those ugly secrets that you’re dying
to tell everyone but you’ve promised your best mate that you won’t. We see this
as the start of a second chapter in the H&B story."
"Chemical is a song about control and how everyone’s lost it. A trippy flash of a mad night out, a love song, a “let’s lose our sh*t” song. We’ve been playing with different writing and production styles all year but we were so buzzing when this started to come together. One of those eureka moments followed by multiple high fives. That’s what we’d been waiting for and it’s chosen right now to rear its ugly head.”
Chemical follows the release of their
stunning previous track Electric a well-received and acclaimed single.
The band's debut album Paper
Heart released in 2017 entered iTunes Rock Chart at
number 6 before the band signed with X-Ray Touring and delivered two sell-out
UK tours.
Hunter & The Bear’s biggest headline tour to date in set in
the diary for October - another huge leap for the band. Their hometown show
at The Garage in Glasgow sold out in April, as has their date
in Nottingham, and tickets for the rest are moving extremely fast.
"We’re doing places
like Gorilla in Manchester and Scala in
London, says Will, which are our biggest headline shows to date which is
totally bonkers for us!”
Hunter & The Bear
are set to continue blazing a trail through what has been their most exciting
year to date.
