In our search of long lost tracks we have now come to a quite unique band, The Bear Quartet.
A band that indeed were a big part of the West Side history for some 16 years. I can still remember when I first met these bothersome, stubborn, we know what we want and we know it best kind of a band, a band with a truly big heart, for the first time. Love at first sight you might say. During that time they were more or less a guitar noise band within the same genre as acts like Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr. And to be totally honest, when I first heard their music it blow me away. It had a nerve and it was edgy like nothing else.
Therefore I’m damn proud to present (the fifth) This Weeks Top of The World Track in Historical Perspective, ”A Hole Was Dug” with The Bear Quartet. A song taken from their sixth album ”Moby Dick”, a song that’s far from being one of their more famous once. Nevertheless, I will certainly come back to The Bear Quartet later again in our search for long lost tracks. After all they released 13 albums, one double compilation CD as well as hips an loads of EP’s through A West Side Fabrication.
