The Bear Romantic (HRVRD): Stream a New Song “Place It On Me”

by | Jan 17, 2014

Who here is a fan of HRVRD?

Obviously if you’ve been an RRS reader for a while, you know we’ve taken a strong liking to these dudes from North Carolina. Their 2009 album The Inevitable and I is as timeless to us as Glassjaw’s EYETKAS, and of course we were stoked to have hosted their first-ever LA show at our Haus.

Are you familiar with frontman Jesse Clasen’s project The Bear Romantic? Well today we’ve got a new song from TBR titled “Place It On Me.” It comes off a new compilation benefiting a friend of the band with cancer, and will appear on their upcoming full-length record.

And while we know HRVRD have been experiencing some lineup adjustments, our fingers are crossed for new music.
