Bear Claw September 2, 2007

Bear Claw formed in 2003 as a side project of another band that Rob, Scott and Rich were in while the guitarist Pete was away at art school in Italy. Rich came up with the idea because bass was his main instrument but he played guitar in Hello Operator. The idea wasn't taken seriously at first but the other two were open minded enough to try it anyways. After a few weeks of figuring out what the instruments should sound like, Bear Claw was born with the first song being 'Chameleon' in which Scott sang. With Bear Claw, there was an open mind to write something different without it feeling forced. Straddling the fine line between technical precision and reckless abandon, social commentary and smartass revelry, Replicator endeavour to bring something unique and worthwhile to the overall culture of this independent music.
