STRAW BEAR
strawbear.com
Straw Bear is an alt-country folksy band from London, by the way of Cambridgeshire.
Their new single is called "The Land Witch", it comes out on December 23rd, 2013. The song is taken from their 2012 album Black Bank.
Regarding the song, singer Ian Ray confessed that it was all based on a misheard word, "I was in the back of my nan's car as a kid, and I swear she told my dad that a "land witch" lived in the woods near her house... I sincerely believed that some weird old crone would abduct me if I went too close to the trees. Only years later did I realise I misheard her and made the whole thing up."
Straw Bear was recently spotlighted by Clash Magazine for their The Great Escape coverage (which, incidentally, we also covered).
