Bear vs Shark Break Up Official

[Scott Weber]

Straight from Equal Vision Records - it's official, Bear vs. Shark (http://www.bearvsshark.com) have broken up. Below is a statement from EVR.
After nearly five years of playing music together, Bear Vs Shark have
decided to conclude their story and will no longer be playing music
together.

The breakup comes only six months after the release of their new
album, "Terrorhawk," and in the midst of tour plans with Limbeck and
The Honorary Title. BVS have cancelled the upcoming tour, and have no
plans for a final show.

Bear Vs Shark has meant so much to us here at Equal Vision, we wanted
to share with you some of our thoughts and experiences about the
band. Please feel free to share your thoughts about the band on their
website, www.bearvsshark.com (http://www.bearvsshark.com).

******

I remember it like it was yesterday. The first time I saw Bear Vs
Shark was Fathers Day of 2002. They played at an outdoor skatepark
somewhere in Michigan to a handful of people (most of which were
skating, not watching). I remember one thing about that day... and
it wasn't their musical performance (because they were still very
rough around the edges in those days). As I was standing there in the
warm midwestern sun I thought about where the band would be in five
years and it gave me goosebumps. I had never seen a frontman like
Marc (and I still haven't seen another one since) and the energy that
radiated from the band was unique and thrilling. When I left Michigan
that day, I was pretty sure I just had a life changing experience.
Now as I am looking back, that day definitely changed my life forever.

Over the last almost four years we have had our share of
disagreements and bumps in the road, but the art never suffered. I
have never met a bunch of guys more dedicated to seeing their vision
through than Bear Vs Shark. Over the last four years they grew,
evolved and became everything I hoped they would be. They were one of
the reasons I got myself out of bed in the morning. They gave me hope
for the music industry. Most importantly, I was able to look myself
in the mirror at the end of the day and knew we were doing it for the
right reasons. Art.

I am proud of the work we did together. The two records BVS made are
documents that should be saved, they are more important than words
can describe. I am proud to have them as friends and thankful they
became part of my family.

An important part of my family died this week. There will never be a
replacement for the magic that Derek, Mike, Marc, John, Ashley, and
Brandon created together. It cannot be recreated, but it will be
missed and loved for a long time to come.

- Daniel Sandshaw / Equal Vision Records

Bear Vs Shark. The name alone breathes life.

I feel that Bear Vs Shark in itself was like an individual being. On
their own, John, Marc, Mike, Derek, Ashley, (and Brandon) are amazing
people I'm glad I can call friends, but together they formed
something completely different. Every few weeks, sometimes months, I
was lucky enough to witness this humble beast take shape right in
front of me, and for those 30 minutes, nothing could distract me from
what I was experiencing.

Some people chose to enjoy that short amount of time by running
around and completely going off, but I was never really that guy. I
always sung along to myself and all kinds of ideas and images shot
through my head; I wish you could've seen it.

At first you think, "These guys are maniacs!" There's one guy hanging
from the ceiling with a microphone in his mouth, another couple of
guys trading instruments, and another deeply involved with the music,
with his eyes rolled back in his head.

The more you watch, the more you realize they're not maniacs, they're
just unafraid. A lot of bands take the stage with something to prove.
Bear Vs Shark took the stage with no preconceived notions - they just
wanted to have a good time, and hopefully pass it along to the
audience. They never failed. Every time I left the club, I was in awe
and could never stop saying, "I love that band."

There are few bands that truly get me excited about music, Bear Vs
Shark was one of those bands. I will never forget them.

- Greg Sieme / Equal Vision Records

******

As much as I love music, there are very few bands that I can honestly
say have had an impact on my life. Bearvsshark was one of those
bands. Their music speaks to me and I’ve been able to connect with it
more than almost anything else I’ve ever heard. In their short
existence, I haven’t heard a single song of theirs that I haven’t
completely fallen in love with. I’ve taken countless road trips,
sometimes by myself, to see them play. They were one of the few
bands left who I was always excited about seeing play live, and now
they’re gone. The guys in Bearvsshark were some of the most down to
earth, genuine people that I have ever met, and always seemed to be
more concerned with music rather than having an image. When I got
the news that Bearvsshark had broken up, it almost feels like a
person that I loved and cared about has died. I’m definitely not the
only person that felt that way either; there are so many people that
loved this band just as much as I did and who are just as
devastated. Although I want to be selfish and want the band to
continue, I completely respect their decision to part ways. I don’t
think I could ever thank the band enough, or in an appropriate
manner, for everything they have shared over the past few years. I
wish each of them the best and hope they can find whatever it is that
will make them happy.

- Glenn Dooley / Equal Vision Records

Bear Vs. Shark is an incredible band, incredible people, and
incredible company. I remember all the times they played southern CA
and would come crash on my floor after. Every time it was lots of
beer, lots of stories, and lots of laughs. We definitely never got
bored for a moment any of those nights. Whenever they left I always
wished we had more time to hang. I hated to see them go but I was
excited to see that they were off to conquer yet another city.

I got to know these guys very well over the past couple years and I
am very thankful for that. If I had not had the opportunity to work
with this band I do not know where I would be at right now but I do
think that things would be very different than they are. There is no
doubt that I would not be where I am at without them. They taught me
a lot and always kept me on my toes. I am honored to have been able
to work with them. I saw them grow as people and as a band over the
past couple years and I am very proud of them for everything they did
and accomplished. I wish them nothing but the best in the future. I
am sure they are all going to be very successful at whatever it is
they do and I, for one, can’t wait to hear about it.

- Dave Shapiro / Velocity Touring

******

Bear Vs Shark meant a lot to me. I had seen Bear Vs Shark many times
over the past few years during their existence. I was never
disappointed by any means. From the first show I witnessed to their
last. I will never forget a moment. Bear Vs Shark, in my opinion,
were set to be a ground breaking band and were highly under-rated.
They deserved a lot more acknowledgment for their music. I remember
being in the studio when they were recording "Terrorhawk," and
enjoying every second of it. It was extremely interesting seeing the
input of each song and development. Even driving 10+ hours to
Michigan to see them in their hometown for their record release
show. I cherish every moment I encountered with this band. A true
diamond in the rough. They will be missed.

- Paul Gigante / Equal Vision Records

******

I first heard Bear Vs. Shark before I worked at Equal Vision and was
blown away at the diverse sounds and how genuine the people involved
with this band were. That first album really opened up a lot of
doors here at EVR with how people perceived the sound of Equal Vision
to be. Since working here I have had the chance to work and hang
with a band that truly work their own way. As a sound thats
different from a lot of stuff we do, they were a breath of fresh
air. I will definitely miss working for them and will hope they are
happy and understand that Equal Vision as a label wouldn't be where
its at without Bear Vs. Shark.

[Drew Beringer]

Man, now I have to update my saddest breakups of 2005 list. :(

[ACA]

Wow.

I saw them before their 2003 LP was released, and they totally ruled.

Passionate is not a strong enough word to describe this band.

Man, now I have to update my saddest breakups of 2005 list. :(

Tsunami Bomb, Bear Vs Shark... the list is huge. Such a shame.

-ACA

[fever]

noooooooooooooooooooooo

[seans seatbelt]

Well, this is sad.
I saw them with Fear Before and Curl Up And Die this summer. I hope Fear Before isn't next.
Anyway, they are classics now.

[permanent]

Well this just sucks... I was really just getting into them.

[romantic rights]

i was so excite to see them with limbeck! I was going to go twice just to see bvs! and now this!

somebody will pay....

[drivethru770]

I don't know if someone posted this, but I think we should pay our respects and have a complete list of 2005 breakups.

It best be done by an AP.net administrator because they would have the most complete list.

[Die Interviewer]

:(

[YouMadeTheScene]

Well that absolutely mother fucking blows. probably was my top album of 2005 to be honest. Their sound just clicked with my taste so perfectly. That is just horrible.

[minusthejosh]

this really sucks, i was just now really getting into them.

I saw them 7 times, this is the worst news in the world to me.
I would rather recieve AIDS then have them break up.

They were just about to write a new album too
and they canceled their tour.

wtf people, is their a god?

[zaackkk]

worse than watching your best friend get demolished by chipmunks.
i saw that you're deleting your myspace because of this news
this blows

[Rohan Kohli]

So, where all em bitches at who were saying "AP.net rumors are always fake" and "fuck you ap.net for your rumors," etc?

Pooavenger: this is definitely not true. 98% of ap.net rumors are wrong. I hope someone can clear this bullshit up QUICK.

Zaackkk: I made this account for this one thread
they are planning a tour right now
and also writing a new rocord, fuck you rumor people

i made a joke about to get someone else sad last week, weird


JoshCool7717: This has to be bullshit. So many things say so. A new tour, a new CD, just nothing that substantial that would say they would break up. But if they happen to, I'll be pissed. Hands down one of my three favorite bands of all time (the other two are the other 2 Dudestormers besides SBM. Sorry Man.)

Chris Hero: God this board is such bullshit.

[Andrew_Nelson]

worst news ever

[jfb392]

Nice, I just started listening to them two days ago.
Real niceeeee.

[Frequency]

Sucks. They were on the news lately.

[zaackkk]

Sucks. They were on the news lately.for what?

[alexwohl29_90]

Saw them 2 years ago and they blew me away. I love this band, I hope they play a farewell show, here in Michigan.

but what a shitty year...

[Russ Hockenbury]

boo

[lfdfforever]

I loved this band.

[The Revisionist]

Huh, no shit... fair enough.

And Rohan, I still contend that you should not be posting rumours on your website when they have NOT been confirmed. This post would've been just fine as it is now, and putting it up early only makes kids miserable early on for (what can often turn out to be) no reason at all.

[GAD_guy]

man. this truly blows.

Haha, that's why it's a RUMOR. And even if it were wrong, people would realize just how much the band means to them.

[poppa Q]

Well this sure does suck.

[chokeychicken]

2005 is the year of good bands breaking up.

2006, come quickly. we're ready for you.

that's dumb. it says right on the post, "gossip." it could be true, it could be false. either way, the freakin title lets you know that it should be taken with a grain of salt. i personally think that this site would be much less entertaining if the rumors weren't posted. besides, why should the staff members censor themselves to keep some dumbass kids happy?

wow, this blows. loved them.

[thewk]

the singer's voice was so awesome.
i hope he forms a new band or something.
great band, another one gone.

[JoshCool7717]

This fucking sucks. There are no other words to describe it. I saw them the one time they came to Minnesota and it was inspirational. These guys had an outrageous performance; the best set I had ever seen. I wish them luck in all of their future endeavors. I know they will all be just as great as BVS.

Hey man. I was not in anyway putting down AP saying the rumors are always fake or anything of the sort. I just didn't believe in this particular rumor. And I am obviously wrong. I apologize for any misunderstandings.

[llmp]

God damn. I have three articles of clothing with band names on them. Name Taken, Northstar, and Bearvsshark. My friend just said she ordered me the new say anything jacket for christmas. I think I should tell her to cancel it just in case...

agreed. everyone loves rumors b/c who doesn't like to be a gossip queen. however, in the world of professional journalism...it would be more respectful for AP to wait until rumors are comfirmed from reliable sources. however, if you must post a rumor...include a source. just like you require sources for all the news that (half the time) never gets posted. it seems that we, the readers, are required to believe AP's staff simply because they are AP's staff.

that's dumb. it says right on the post, "gossip." it could be true, it could be false. either way, the freakin title lets you know that it should be taken with a grain of salt. i personally think that this site would be much less entertaining if the rumors weren't posted. besides, why should the staff members censor themselves to keep some dumbass kids happy?


credibility?

[night in town]

this just makes my shitty week even shittier.

This is all I acknowledged in the actual BvS Rumor thread, the least you could do is offer where you heard it from. I can be the first to admit that I love some rumors/shittalking/whatever, I skim through People Magazine, I watch Maury Povich... but I can see pictures and people actually saying words with those, I know there is a possibility it is actually happening. With any sort of rumor, I would like some loose form of credibility attached to it, and I don't think it's too much to ask to at least contain some sort of link so that the rumor is "verified".

who cares? Its not bringing BVS back.

[The Revisionist]

If they don't think they can function as a band, they shouldn't try to stay together, they would be fucking you and themselves over.

I personally have yet to hear a BvS song, but they don't really factor into what I am talking about.

Edit: THIS POST IS 420 LOLOLOLOL

[TMartin442]

i hope the each start something new

[mogwaifearsatan]

This is motherfucking horseshit.

One of the precious few bands in the scene today to make music for the love and energy of it. Not about fashion or sounding cool, just making intense music from the heart. This is such a huge blow to independent music.

BVS, you will be sorely missed. I'm sure your legacy and influence will be here for years to come.

[Greg Dona]

Ugh, damnit.

[lifexcriedxwolf]

fuuuuuuuuuuuck, definetly makes the list of suckiest things this year

[jnkbondtrader]

wow this is so upsetting. i just got terrorhawk about a month ago and i love it and now i'll never be able to see them live.

[Boring Pop Song]

sorry to hear that... they were amazing live

[clevername]

This is some of the worst news I have heard all year. This is my record of the year without a doubt and I saw them three times this summer alone. I was looking forward to them coming back and doing an interview for me too. I loved these guys and they always let me chill with them... I will drive anywhere to see a farewell show.

[Pooavenger]

fuck why do the good bands break up. damn. fuck.

[brutusUbastard]

Damnit. I almost went to the FBTMOF and BVS tour.

[drainyourheart]

why can't 2005 just fucking end by now and not take another love of mine away from me!!! hopefully in 2006 will be the year of reunions and bands we will find to love from influences of bands that have broen up!

dude if you are coming here to read credible news, you're in the wrong place. this place neither is, nor claims to be, a professional journalistic web site. it's just a place for people who love music to read about music. i don't think a single member of the staff has a journalism degree.

I enjoy this site because AP has constructed, whether they like it or not, a reputation of being a standard on the Internet for reliable news regarding music. Of course no one on staff has a journalism degree...they're all college students (just like me). It just doesn't make logical sense for AP, let alone anyone, to not strive to be reliable and credible within the realm of their expertise. What if the ratio of rumors to credible news was double the amount it is now? I garuntee AP would have a readership a tenth of the size it does now. I never said not to post rumors or that I didn't enjoy hearing them...I just don't enjoy people jumping the gun (even though this isn't the case) and having to back track after the fact.

Bear Vs Shark was absolutly the greatest band ever to manifest themselves so well at a live show. It seems as though they care for nothing more than the simple joys of life. Marc's lyrics are to be inturpreted how you may, as for me, I think he preaches about the most effective ways to approach your trials and tribulations. Thier energy is pure and natural. The music makes them alive and forces even the most hard-nosed of the unwilling rise to a new level of happiness. Words cannot describe the lost of these guys and what they could have meant to the world. This leads me to believe that for five years, they had been planning to break up abrubtly at this time without explanation, so that they will forever be remembered. That is all I have to say about the loss of the most uplifting music ever to be heared.
