The Bears were an American power pop band formed in 1985 in Cincinnati, Ohio. It features the distinctive avant-garde guitar playing of Adrian Belew, the band's most prominent member. In addition to guitarist, vocalist and producer Belew, the Bears consists of guitarist/vocalist Rob Fetters, drummer/vocalist Chris Arduser, and bassist Bob Nyswonger.

Adrian Belew is, without question, one of America's must under-rated guitar heroes. Besides being a sideman to the stars (King Crimson, David Bowie, Talking Heads), Belew also had a quartet with a group of friends called The Bears (formerly The Raisins). The managed to get a deal with a subsidiary of IRS Records and issued two fine CD's of power-pop, all colored with Belew's distinctive personal guitar style. Unfortunately this disc has been out of print for some time now.
