about

Imagine walking into a donut shop, delirious with hunger. Not just anything will suffice. You have a man's appetite and you need a man's pastry. You glance past all of the crullers, long johns and old fashioneds and dismiss them as trivial, wimpy snacks. Then, out of the corner of your eye, you see a BEAR CLAW. Golden brown, caked with glaze, gleaming like a diamond among stones. This is what you have been hankering for, a meaty slab of fresh dough, infused with gooey cinnamon and fit for a king.

It is the music of BEAR CLAW that you will devour with every fiber of energy. The thundering bass lines will stick to your ribs. You will feel the pounding drum frenzy in the pit of your aching gut. Sweat will pour from your body as it writhes in pure fits of adrenaline fueled ecstasy. Strange primal noises will emerge from the depths of your bowels, and after the moment has passed you will be licking your fingers with delight.

In the summer of 2002, the band was formed in Chicago when three of the members of Hello, Operator needed to pursue a new musical direction. According to drummer Scott Picco, “The goal was to use two basses but not have them sound like two basses if you get my drift. We were going for a 3 piece rock band that just had more guts and low end.”

lyrics

You chew and gnaw, you scratch and crawl, you're on my nerves. If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times, it's time to leave. Disguised with daggers for eyes, I'm coming for you. You think you can run behind the wall, not if I split your face with these claws. You think that you'll slip right through these paws, one misstep leads you right into my jaws. You think you can outwit me you little shit? Just because you're the mouse and I'm the cat, it doesn't make this a game. Come out and play, I'm telling you it won't hurt one bit. You've plagued me with suffering for far too long. You can't outwit me you little shit? I have a plan this time and determination on my side. Come out and play, it might hurt just a little bit. You've plagued me with suffering for far too long. Enthrall me in your chasing game, the product of desire. I'll follow you then I'll swallow you, because you follow me and you swallow me.
