One of the best bands around right now is Bear’s Den. Formed in 2012, Bear’s Den is a relatively new band but one that has been making quite a name for themselves in the folk scene.

Bear’s Den has released two studio albums, “Islands” and “Red Earth & Pouring Rain,” as well as four extended-plays. Their newest single, “Berlin” was released in December.

The biggest appeal of Bear’s 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.

One of my favorite parts of Bear’s Den’s Music is its ability to evoke both happiness and sadness at the same time.

Editor’s Disparagement

Despite receiving decent reviews from critics, I’ve found the new videogame “For Honor” 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’s too rough around the edges to warrant spending $60 on it.

“For Honor” 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.

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.
