Featuring:
Bears With Guns are a hard working band whom have played with the likes of Icehouse, Lepers and Crooks, Castlecomer, Stonefield, and The Delta Riggs - just to name a few. In 2015 they are at the top of their game progressively working on new songs to get you up and dancing.
"The Bears' music is an enthralling mix of blissed-out folk tunes, belted out with a wondrous display of gusto and soul. Taken for a Fool a song that tunnels inside the gut and lingers, resolutely refusing to shift. Far wiser beyond their years, The Bears are fast-becoming a force to be reckoned with."
-- Ed Gibbs, Rolling Stone

Direwolf has had three releases over the past year and a half,
Goodbye (Single) - 2013
Alone on a Hill (Single) - 2014
Direwolf (Untitled EP) - 2014
These releases have earned him reviews such as:
"I can hear this being a really special song to a lot of people. It's filled with some pretty genuine emotion." - Dave Ruby Howe, Triple J
"His name is true to his music, tragic and wolf like. Full of howls and a lingering sadness" - Sofar Sounds, Sydney
