Newcastle indie-pop three-piece Bear Park – made up of members Guy Robson, Shay Bagnall, and Adam Marshall – formed in 2019 at 14 and 15 years of age – have been a breath of fresh air on the music scene ever since.
A chance encounter led to them working with Gary Powell of The Libertines, signing with his label, 25 Hour Convenience Store, in 2023. Their 2024 album, supported by a vinyl release at Beyond Vinyl, was a dreamy mix of surf-inspired riffs and jaunty melodies.
Bear Park have a knack for creating genre-crossing tracks that hook listeners and keep them coming back for more, blending youthful energy with subtle nods to Britpop and even The Smiths.
They have earned their place on the gig circuit, securing coveted support slots with The Libertines, Andrew Cushin, and The Lightning Seeds. Their fast-growing fanbase has revelled in catching their sets at Hardwick Festival, Lindisfarne Festival, and Coastfest over the years – always delivered with charm and a dash of mischief. Regular features on BBC Introducing North East have helped bring their music to an even wider audience.
This is a band full of ambition and drive, with their sights firmly set on the biggest stages.
