about

Broken Bear, the trailblazing musical sensation known for their unique sound and unparalleled creativity, is set to captivate audiences once again with the release of their remarkable cover version of Tears For Fears' classic hit, "Mad World." Following on from their celebrated Follow My Leader EP, the highly anticipated release is scheduled for Friday, 15th December, 2023.

Breaking away from their usual original content, Broken Bear has ventured into uncharted territory to bring a fresh and distinctive take on the iconic song. Fans can expect the band's signature dark, melancholic, raw, and grungey style to shine through, infusing "Mad World" with the unmistakable sound and artistry that define Broken Bear.

Broken Bear have expressed excitement about the project, stating, "We've always been drawn to the haunting beauty of 'Mad World,' and we felt it was time to reinterpret it through the dark lens of Broken Bear. We can't wait to share our unique rendition with the World.” Their version promises to offer a fresh perspective while maintaining the emotional depth of the original. Broken Bear extends a warm invitation to music enthusiasts worldwide to join them in breathing new life into the beloved classic, "Mad World.”

Broken Bear are regulars on Tom Robinson’s BBC 6Music Mixtape and on BBC Introducing. Genuinely difficult to pigeon-hole, the pair’s music blends alt-rock, indie, shoe-gaze, garage rock, grunge and everything in between, creating a captivating symphony that defies categorisation. Their signature dark, melancholic style has garnered them comparisons to iconic acts such as Nirvana, Radiohead, Fleetwood Mac, and The Cranberries.

Fronted by Laura, with her delicate ethereal vocals and filthy guitar work, and teamed with Paul on bass and synth wizardry duties, Broken Bear share the drumming and songwriting duties.

Broken Bear for a broken World.
