One of the best bands around right now is Bear\u2019s Den. Formed in 2012, Bear\u2019s Den is a relatively new band but one that has been making quite a name for themselves in the folk scene.<\/p>\n
Bear\u2019s Den has released two studio albums, \u201cIslands\u201d and \u201cRed Earth & Pouring Rain,\u201d as well as four extended-plays. Their newest single, \u201cBerlin\u201d was released in December.<\/p>\n
The biggest appeal of Bear\u2019s Den is their accessibility for a wide audience. While their main genre is folk, they do have fast paced rock music as well and sounds that would appeal to country fans. Their lyrics tell stories and are often relatable.<\/p>\n
One of my favorite parts of Bear\u2019s Den\u2019s Music is its ability to evoke both happiness and sadness at the same time.<\/p>\n
Editor\u2019s Disparagement<\/p>\n
Despite receiving decent reviews from critics, I\u2019ve found the new videogame \u201cFor Honor\u201d to be very underwhelming. The concept is incredible and the execution is satisfying at times, but the game is a nest of connectivity issues and rough bugs. It\u2019s too rough around the edges to warrant spending $60 on it.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor Honor\u201d is a multiplayer fighting game that pits players against each other in melee combat. The graphics are stunning and the game has its moments, but Ubisoft is known for their difficult releases for games with unfinished aspects and massive server issues.<\/p>\n
The game will be good in time, but until the many issues are worked out and the price drops, buying it now is a waste of money and will only bring irritation.<\/p>\n
