Bear Claw
Bearclaw are burly and heavy. Their first record defines what can be accomplished with drums and bass. Lesser bands would have locked into such a winning formula but Bearclaw keeps looking for more. The second record stretches and moans. It is patience and low tone in a slow burn. When they were closest to being defined, they pulled away.
The personnel that make up the band are the new standard in band ethics. They are the benchmark of my peer group of musicians and the foundation of the new DIY era. They are the “Batman” of tour contacts. I am happy to say that I knew them from “back when” and am proud to call them friends. — buzzsaw

Top Eleven Videos for 2011
Behold, my first top ten list! (which is actually a Top Eleven List…)
As you know, we at Caffeinated Recordings record a lot of bands and live shows. The Caffeinated Recordings Youtube Channel currently has over 1,300 videos of live music for your enjoyment, dating back to September of 2009 when I recorded my first live show.
Here are the most popular videos for 2011, based on views in 2011. There are some obvious videos that I noticed that were shared amongst friends, some that got embedded in blogs and venues websites, and some that surprised even me! I hope you enjoy.

Bradley R. Weissenberger of the rock band .22 hosted an all PRF radio show this passed Saturday, August 13th, 2011 on 106.7 WRHC Radio Harbor Country in Grand Haven, MI from 9 to 11 PM. In addition, the show was streamed live on their website through out the digital land.
While the broadcast, with all it’s wacky comedy bits, and controversial topics of conversation was not saved, Mr. Weissenberger was kind enough to replicate the playlist on this PRF Radio Hour on Bandcamp page. Click through to enjoy a stream of great music.
