Bear Hands - "What a Drag" Cantora Records

[TheGreeengarden]

i heard this band about a week ago and i liked there songs the first time i heard them

[ChiefPackinBowl]

i wish i didnt stumble on this stupid fucking bullshit

[lucabassist67]

23 people must like rap

[suckittwins]

@lucabassist67 i like rap, i make rap music i love bear hands

[onlyinmandyland]

I Like Limoncello :O) Just Wanted 2 Put That Out There l.o.l.

[IBedtimeCookies]

bear hands is my new favorite band

[freeroaminman]

Just got home from seeing them, loved the album, was really pumped. But, basically passionless hipsters. If you want to hear all the songs off the album exactly as they are, then this is for you, they did that well. I mean five years and one album and that was what you had to offer live?

[takingbaksundayz]

I need a hideout like that..

[redvelvet500]

Lmfao! That lady in the middle is from Millionaire Matchmaker! xD

[DenemChikn]

cigarettes are cool

[EJsmama09]

Run girls! RUN!

[nsankey]

They totally sound like Modest Mouse.. but they're still doing their own thing. It's great music.

[mrjoshdupy]

Great Song!!!!! I came to see you guys perform in Washington DC. Great Show.

[raiders545]

This song is just so laid back.

[videouploadister]

When the guy reached into the box in the tractor I thought he was going to pull out a gun! 'This straw isn't getting rid of these peskily persistent women!' KABOOM!

[Gawlerboy10]

bear hands sound like bear hands, why are people trying to put music in a box all of the time?

[TheManlyman16]

my favorite song as of when it first came out <3

[IAmOneMillionAnts]

Ballin.

[Joegreen29]

If you can type that they sound like Modest Mouse, without knowing that Modest Mouse sounds like The Talking Heads; go kill yourself.

[leelacempaka]

I actually laughed when I saw those 3 girls STILL running after the damn truck...

[hosway1992]

What is it with indie bands and Bears? Seabear, Minus the Bear, Grizzly Bear, Panda Bear, Bear in Heaven? And now Bear Hands. Hmmm

[Ender20XX]

@hosway1992 A reference to Cali perhaps? The indie capital.

[hosway1992]

@Ender20XX nah I doubt These bands from Iceland, NY, and Seattle would really care about Cali. If anything those places have more of an impact on Indie then Cali IMO

[cutegirlkami96]

@hosway1992 Grizzly bear♥

[raiders545]

@hosway1992 The bear is on the flag of California.

[hosway1992]

@raiders545 I know, but what does the flag of California have to do with these bands? :)

[octoberman99]

this is awful, Passion Pit is soo much better

[iflythroughclouds]

no, they don't sound like Modest Mouse. They sound like MGMT.

[MegaLeeharvey]

wish they make a trip to california

[MegaLeeharvey]

song is so sick....

[localnatiive]

god damn long nailssss.

[LieutenantSarcasm26]

SHIKAMARU!!! :D

[RoamingD]

[willbraham]

I love the song and the band but wtf is up with this pure shit video? These guys seem really creative and this is what we get!?! Retarded.

[VeeshizzleXD]

[enjoiwrx]

es' cyprus trip brought me here! Go Kevin Romar, Kellen James, Tyler Surrey, Jimmy Carlin, Josh Matthews!

[afroking96]

Ahhhh Dylan Rau is a family friend and it was pretty cool to see how his music progressed and how fast his band became semi popular

[LieutenantSarcasm26]

MOAR. I WANTS MOAR.

[fuckincuntscrape888]

hmmm. someone likes modest mouse...apparently enough to rip them off completely.

[adamfitz22]

dude this band is so sick we got to play with them in detroit with hesta prynn and they both tore it up. bear hands are seriously one of my favorite bands now their record "burning bush supper club" is amazing. if you like these guys youy might like the kodaks---> thekodaks.bandcamp.com

[pyroboarder123]

finally a band that sounds like mgmt!

[SamAsh218]

@pyroboarder123 maybe because both mgmt and bear hands came from wesleyan university

[AlbanianBarbie143]

[hikittyfuckyou]

[hikittyfuckyou]

@AlbanianBarbie143 i guess that crazy didn't lie about being a model/actress/life coach/ whatever else HAHAHAHA!!

[AlbanianBarbie143]

[AlbanianBarbie143]

[yeahdog123]

[adr3y516]

[Bowserprimepoint45]

This is seriously an amazing song.

[catman08012]

My favorite song of 2010

[LieutenantSarcasm26]

I find it pitiful as hell that those chicks can't catch up to that slow ass tractor. 

[WhatTheTech]

@LieutenantSarcasm26 what.....come on now

[TheMissCCC]

Favourite song <3

[FullThrottleGaming]

Is this what sex feels like?

[ScreamSunshine]

How can anyone dislike this? It's beautiful.

[FoYaMoneyLove]

@Cronominite1

TL;DR

TL;DR

TL;DR

ANYWAYS..cant wait till this band gets bigger so their music is easier to find lol

[Cronominite1]

like them and etc...because thats all they play, even this WORTHLESS team youtube brigade play only the most popular "catches" or "funded" catches in music, including indie now. So...take your fingers out nose cuz its givin you all brain damage, open your ears and minds, leave the shore, and find true INDIE because its waaaay out there and waaaaay more than you all know. Stay true to the music, it'll always stay true to your senses. Hopefully your all awake now...Your welcome friends...

[FullThrottleGaming]

@Cronominite1 Wow, the word limit can't contain you can it? ;)

[chippeddiamonds]

@Cronominite1 "your all awake now... Your welcome friends..." are you running some sort of cult? and its you're as in you are, but you make a good point. for some reason i feel i disagree mostly because the good music IS out there and some of it (not all of it) IS mainstream. however i do feel that lady(man) gaga should be imprisoned for crimes against humanity. I feel the same way about the pope though (just saying) doesn't mean that all mainstream is terrible just most of it.

[viralnetwork]

@Cronominite1 dude we're just enjoying the music. stop being just a hipster and enjoy it urself. and if u dont then stfu and gtfo

[MeBeMammaJamma]

@viralnetwork HAHAHA!

[Cronominite1]

@viralnetwork just makin a point in general man, any smart person can see that....nobody was a personal target. so everyone can bitch and moan like babies and throw they're two cents of ignorance around, but when you get it back you buckle at the knees?....dude, i am the one enjoying it. got tired of hearing "oh its modest mouse and shit"....if you actually read what i wrote u'd see i enjoy it! so chill out man. no need for your mind to collapse over MY opinion/ actual knowledge. take care man.

[KingHobum]

@Cronominite1 oh god...thank you...finally I am ENLIGHTENED! Before I read your essay I had been crawling in the dark, hopeless, lost to the true meaning of music. Before I had thought I could listen to multiple genres or enjoy some changes more than others, but now I see there is ONLY ONE PATH! Indie is change and change is GOD!

I must go now. Here I leave my petty life behind and begin my training. I only hope that some day I can fit my dick as far up my own ass as you, o Wise One, have done.

[Cronominite1]

@KingHobum ok kid, your young....u got a ways to go, but besides looking like a complete idiot and giving my explanation bit more strength and reasoning given the fact that you are a perfect example of this youth filled revolted, one sided, uneducated douche-bag behavior im talking about when it comes to music and knowledge of music.So thanks for proving my point ten fold. Unfortunately im not into your packin ass with dick tricks, or bringin someone down. aint my style, so bygones man. chill.

[KingHobum]

@Cronominite1 no no, you ARE right...I certainly do got a ways to go before i ascend to your level, you, the shining light among the masses of one-sided, uneducated, douche-bag plebians. I am in awe of your omniscience, which even without knowing me, could probe the depths of my music taste/knowledge in order to pass righteous judgement. Your point need not be proven to sinners like us, though it is my honor to have assisted.

Thank you for blessing my comment with such a response.

[emowithbridge]

@KingHobum Beautifully Said.

[Cronominite1]

sound the same to the regular joe, which is most of you. Not an insult, but your statements say that much. Ever hear the saying "the words you behold are cast from the character you've become.." well look, you ALL are sayin the same shit with no end, because you have fallen into the trap of MAINSTREAM music. Yes, sad to say, but the modern mainstream filth and dispatch of talent has now discovered INDIE and is playing the death out of it! so yeah Modest Mouse sounds like this and MGMT sounds

[Cronominite1]

or "almost like" is because your dumbed down senses rely WAY too much on the fact that modern mainstream music is CATERING to your simple desire for new music rather than you walkin to the old crusty music hut behind the 7-eleven and finding something new and unheard of yourselves. I for one can name prob over 80 indie bands, internationally, that more than half of you will never hear of in your entire life! American music isn't for fresh and new, its an eBay of shit. So no shit it will all

[Cronominite1]

smell anything fresh and new. Most indie fans today are young idiots that have no idea what it all is or about...sorry, but its true. no debate about that. Indie music is NOT there for you to have, its there for you to FIND! Always has been elusive and fresh because its too multidimensional inside and outside the modern music industry. The only reason you all are crying over "change" (which makes no fucking sense according to accurate reasoning that indie is "change") and how it "sounds like"

[Cronominite1]

everyone keeps saying "oh this indie scene these days...change...and i saw another one below sayin, sounds like, is like, almost like...needs change"....look, you all cant be that ignorant to understand that the indie music "scene" you mistakenly label as concretely as a can of beans, is FOR A FACT the most fluctuating, lively pulsed, most perpetually dynamic and ever changing form of modern music. YET YOU ALL, still get greedy and sit there with your fingers in your noses wondering why you cant

[geebee123]

they sound like bright eyes AND mgmt together!

pretty cool!

[80Hex]

agree , this sounds like M.M.

[blazertreyflip]

lyrics are stupid long nails? it almost makes me not like the song thumbs up anyway great everything else

[floulife]

sounds like mgmt but it's definetly BETTER

[friendofthenight619]

this song is the shiiiiiiiiiit! love it

[theej12354]

best part at 2:10

[Hereinyoutuification]

amazing, amazing, amazing, amazing band!!! now my life have sense!

[MouthsLikSdwndrMisls]

@Shal3 Minus the good lyrics, haha. Isaac Brock is a fucking god amongst men.

[Rambdo]

not sure how these guys sound exactly like modest mouse, mm has got a more raw sounds, this is a lil more polished but not a bad thing, and as for mgmt, not as much keyboard for them, i think they have there own unique sounds, but somewhere its gona be impossible not to find another band like this, as indie bands grow at a crazy rate

[viralnetwork]

i dont know why, but this reminds me of Wales:P

was the music video filmed somewhere in the UK??

[bostonhuski]

god i really do love bear hands. and they dont sound like modest mouse okay?

"long and lean god save the queen."

[muse5life]

@bostonhuski but this song does soound a bit like a mix of modest mouse and wolf parade

[allthumbs25]

@muse5life

That assessment is dead on. I enjoy the song, but it does sound like a MM/WP derivative.

[WhatTheTech]

@bostonhuski Thanks for pointing that out, They do sound like modest mouse!

[elborimex]

i really dont see the creativity in this band they practically rip-offed modest mouse sound i'm sorry but i kinda feel like many indie acts nowdays are just clones :'(

[ilikegoodmusicalot]

ahh where would i be w/o satelite radio?!

[multisuperkawaii]

@ilikegoodmusicalot oh my god i know right?! XD

[101slugbug]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!

[reynoldsvideos]

Uhh......come to England. NOW

[TheTruthHurts212]

Such good song. Saw these guys when they opened for Passion Pit in Niagara Falls.

[jaybullen]

this song's really cool

[eleanorerigby]

Can't get this song out of my head! At least I love it.

[theej12354]

they kind of remind me of mgmt

[LetsBeGracious]

@theej12354 They do sound a bit like MGMT, but they are less electronic, and more groovey I'd say.

[brewcityburger]

cant wait to party with these guys in the brew city in roughly 20 days

[JordanIsHellaHot]

i bet this band gets big

[AzSDevil08]

saw them last night

with we were promised jetpacks

amazing show!!

[SeeSarahGo]

Oh my those eyes are gorgeous.

[glotfeltya]

was pumped for We Were Promised Jet Packs now i am pumped to see them too in Cleveland

[CK4LL]

00:21 this was the original concept for Starstrukk by 3OH!3 ft Katy perry

[IndieTempest]

Awesome video, love the music, very catchy.

[1337adholfka]

reminds me of TVontheradio

[Abilityspeaks]

I like this! It appeals to my sense of the absurd.

[feldlafette]

i like this video so much, realy good art!

[lopidum]

viedo is great.. music is preety cool :D

[snewso]

this is good, it's fun and creative. 5/5

[scarlethallucination]

Love the song. Beautiful video concept.

[TokenTombstone]

i don't understand why this song is rated 1 star at this point. Also, blanktv needs to give more info about the band and the vid in the description. My opinion of course......at least give us info about where the band is from, available records, etc......most regular youtubers are not going to research the band past what info is linked here.......anyway, keep on rocking, guys.

[BlankTV]

Hey there, If you hit the info button we give all the available tags for the videos. We couldn't possibly do available albums, etc from YouTube, with over 3500 music videos. Also, the main BlankTV site features hotlinks to both band and label sites, as well as an impending relaunch which will feature MySpace, Twitter and Facebook pages as well.

[eleichliter]

Bear Hands is a great band out of Brooklyn, NY. They only have 1 EP (Golden) out right now and one or two singles (What A Drag/Can't Stick 'Em) available, I believe. The four guys are originally from Connecticut.

[multisuperkawaii]

@TokenTombstone agreed

[katherinejmark]

@TokenTombstone

They are from my hometown Glastonbury, CT.

Most successful band to come from our high school.

Try out there oldest stuff you can get the Golden EP. Amazing
