More Soul Than Wigan Casino - Pick Of The Week in The Guardian Guide 11/08/07:

Subjects include terrible bloodthirsty gangs of tiny children, getting jiggy with dinosaurs, fist-fighting your younger self, signing up for intergalatic warfare, finding love, the colonisation of the solar system, the search for tangible proof of a 'soul', and a dirty old crow: you know: the usual shit.
Already championed by the likes of Steve Lamacq, Huw Stevens, Phill Jupitus, XFM, the NME, Artrocker and Plan B, the six piece release their new album OH:IO on Fantastic Plastic on September the 10th. With a live show including flute, guitars, keyboards, samples, cornet, singing, bells, accordion, theremin, drums, oh and a keytar plus a variety of outlandish stage gear - blood soaked prom dresses, marching bands, 'nurses of death' outfits, spacemen and silver bear-bot wear to name but a few - Bearsuit are certainly a band to catch live! More info...
Stop-start boy-girl cutie-killer six-piece with everything from cinematic waltzes to catchy electro disco and hard punk screaming riot grrl noise. A mix of Belle and Sebastian, Huggy Bear, and Sonic Youth with electronic twists and turns, and screamy art punk.
The band first captured the imagination of the late John Peel, notching up four Radio 1 sessions for the legendary DJ and scoring three top five hits in his Festive 50, including scooping the number 2 slot in his post-humous chart.They have since gone on to become darlings of the indie-art-rock scene and are now signed to Fantastic Plastic Records (known for kickstarting the careers of bands including The Guillemots, Ash, the Wannadies, the Futureheads, Ikara Colt).
“Colourful, wacky… pop hotchpotch…Imagine Do Me Bad Things having a good fight with Belle and Sebastian at a fairground…on ‘shrooms…in the dark. Yes, really.” NME
“Louder than an explosion in a fireworks factory, …often within the space of a single number, accordion, flute, cornet, violin, theremin and a number of percussion instruments are banged, blown, squeezed and thrummed. It’s an uproariously joyful noise.” Artrocker
“The critical convention of pasting ready-made pigeonholes on to passing bands rocking the same old sounds is shot to absolute shit by the six piece’s technicoloured tomfoolery.” Rock Sound
"Frantic, retro space age, riotously cute disco-punk with the odd throwback to early B&S dropped in, all casual like, lollipop-innocent and coy glances like they hope you won't notice." Everett True, Loose Lips Sink Ships
“Peculiar indeed but abnormally captivating all the same” The Fly
"In an era when almost everything is quite like something else, Bearsuit are not quite like anything." John Peel
"Cinematic doodlings, screamy art punk, and many twists and turns, condensed into less than half an hour of fine, left field pop." The Independent
