About the Band
Swimming with Bears consist of Joe Perry (lead vocals/bass), Jon Kerr (guitar/vocals), Dave O'Farrell (lead guitar), and Ryan Hannasch (drums/vocals). On their new self-titled EP, Swimming with Bears deliver a batch of five songs that showcase their next chapter as a band: Truth and Escapism. But beneath the vulnerability and personal lyrics are upbeat and fun tracks that everyone can relate to. It marks a period of major growth for the band, who spent the better part of last year honing their craft in the writing room as well as on tour. In bringing the new EP to life, they worked closely with producer Ryan Hadlock (produced for Lumineers, Vance Joy, and Brandi Carlile), immersing themselves in a more thorough recording process than they ever attempted before.
