Bear With Me is a five piece pop-punk band hailing from DuPage County the lovely state of Illinois. Dave and Chris have gone
to grade school together since 1st grade, but were never really friends until Dave introduced Chris to New Found Glory on the bus
ride to New York for chorus in 7th grade. (At the time, chances are Dave was wearing orange pants, a white sleeveless t-shirt,
bleach blonde [more like orange] hair, had his headphones in his ear, and was found humping a cannon, but speculation has not yet
been proven true). From that moment on, the two were best friends.

In high school, the two met Strglr through mutual friends and remained that way with him until today. Chris met his girlfriend on the
popular website Facebook, who is named Allison. Allison's brother is Lee, who may or may not be a wizard who magically knows bass so
well, had always wanted to start a good pop-punk band and after a couple failed attempts was confronted by Chris about making a good
pop-punk band. From that point on, Lee started writing music on a program called Power Tab Editor and the rest of the band casually started
learning it. Dave had stockpiled lyrics and threw some at Chris who put them to the completed somgs eventually. Practice happened
every once in a blue moon in Strglr's basement, only to realize that they needed a second guitarist.

Chris was not willing to pick up an axe for the band, so the hunt was on. After a show in Rich's garage, Dave and Chris asked Rich if
he would like to be in the band to which he took a day or two to think about. When word was given back, Bear With Me was complete as
they stand today. Playing pop-punk in the vein of New Found Glory's Self-Titled album, Digger's Monte Carlo, and The Movielife's ... Has A Gambling Problem, they are creating their own versions of the music that they grew up on and love so
dearly. Bear With Me makes music that they can enjoy, and if other people do to, then that is the best thing to happen for them. They
want their music to become a sort of community where everyone who attends a show wouldn't feel awkward to look at someone next to
them, shake their hand, and introduce themselves. Their philosophy is that for a half an hour while they play, your clothes, friends,
and homework do not matter; that the only thing that does matter is being with each other and genuinely enjoying what is happening
around you. If the audience wants to go back to their pattern lives when Bear With Me is not on the stage, they have no control over
it. However, they pride themselves on having fun with whoever is around, whenever someone is around.
