A Swedish easycore band that specialises in heavy breakdowns and melody-rich pop-punk, Abandoned by Bears was formed in 2012 around the talents of vocalists Fredric Andersson and Leon Ekelund, guitarist Jacob Devinder, bassist Gustav Eriksson, and drummer Max Fahlman. With a sound that falls somewhere in between Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! and New Found Glory, the band issued their debut EP, ‘Bear Sides’, independently in 2013. The group’s 2014 full-length ‘When Nothing Goes Right, Go Left!’ caught the attention of Victory Records, who signed the band in 2015. Abandoned by Bears’ label debut, ‘The Years Ahead’, dropped in early 2016, and was followed up by their 2018 release ‘Headstorm’.
