Year of the Grizzly

About Me

He refused to take a side until they took his wife and son.
On a sprawling rancho near Santa Barbara, mountain man Jason Bear has found a place to call home and a family he loves. But when the Americans and the Mexicans begin to battle over supremacy in California, their struggle threatens to destroy Jay's dreams perhaps his life.
Human greed and the lust for power hold sway as both the American military and Mexican Banditos attempt to grab for themselves the wealth of central California's cattle ranches. And Jason Bear's family is caught in the middle. Battling against both nature and the human propensity for evil, Jay must face the most dangerous of adversaries, men who are determined to take his land at any cost.
But much more than the land is at stake. Saving his family will require every ounce of courage and resourcefulness the mountain man can muster -.
"Year of the Grizzly is one of those bands-- if it's hot you sweat, and if it is cold you need a blanket"
Quotes from our radical fans:
Fan 829 - "......FINALLY, someone trying to bring straight-up rock back. I've missed this sound for years. Instead were stuck with drunken cookie monster metal or emo pop punk bullshit."
Fan 221 - "u guys are pretty bad ass."
Fan 744 - "yo, i don't know what yer deal is but the music's sick"
Fan 043 - "duos rock.....and you guys are at the head of the class."
Fan 412 - "Hey guys "Her Body Lies" is so catchy that I was singing it in class today and now I have A 2 hour saturday detention, but i am backed up til May for detentions. It's All for The Rock Though."
Fan 1101 - "Awesome. Honestly though. This is the best stuff I've heard from a band to come hitting me with a friend request in a long time. Thanks."
