* THE ‘PLEASE LOOK AFTER THIS BEAR TOO’ ALBUM BLOSSOMS INTO LIFE *

Rather tremendously, all of the above indie lovehearts make elegant appearances on our brand new donation compilation album ‘Please Look After This Bear Too’ alongside earmashing smasheroonies from VLMV (aka ALMA-the-band), Wooden Arms, The Velveteins, SG Wolfgang, Park Hotel, LeRiche, Albert Gold, Ghost Suns, 485C, Easy Kill aaaaaaaand Alphaduka. This sixteen track musical titillator was the subject of some nice works from Bury Blooming St Edmunds B-side blog at B-Side Music just the other day.

Please Look After This Bear Too’ is available to download on a pay-what-you-bally-well-like basis at Fierce Panda HQ and waiting to be streamed at our special Spotify panda playlist here. As the title might suggest ‘Please Look After This Bear Too’ is a gentle plea to you, the heroic panda punter, to contribute to the furry cause - when you run a record company at a time when seemingly nobody actually buys records anymore you can really see the shadows lengthening out there…


Until next time, TTFN
