The Bear That Loves Honey

Can you believe that we’re already in winter season?

I was just talking with my classmates the other day and it seemed like Winter really hit us by surprise! We weren’t even ready for Fall, and it went by so fast. I wonder how the animals that need to hibernate are doing. Did they get enough food to sleep through winter?

A few weeks ago, my neighbours spotted a bear in their backyard. They said that they were in the living room when they heard a big loud noise coming from their backyard. They saw a bear crash right through the wooden boards from the further end and then going into the back of the house beside them. That is a scene that people in my area are familiar with because there are quite a lot of bears in our area. It was a close call that no one was injured, but the poor old creaky wooden boards need to be replaced soon.

What are your thoughts about bears? Are you scared of them? Do you know what to do and the safety procedure for self-defence if you ever encounter one? I guess it is winter and they will eventually all go into hibernation and will be sleeping until it gets warmer. But there is a bear out there that is not hibernating, and you might want to make an encounter.

Chase The Bear is a Canadian rock band that formed in 2016. They are from Victoria, British Columbia.

“A band of blood brothers, childhood friends, and musical prodigies, British Columbia’s Chase The Bear, mix catchy hooks, roaring electric guitars, and hard-hitting rhythms inspired by classic rock with indie, soul, R&B, and pop influences.”

(Matthew Patania, Pulse Music Magazine)

There are currently six members in the band. Troy Gilmore is the vocalist, Braedan Royer is the bassist, Leo Gilmore is the guitarist, Jordan Phillips is another guitarist, Connor Brooks is the drummer, and Kevin Parker is the keyboardist.

They just released their debut album Honey (2023). They are new and rising and are supported by many others like Darrell Gilmour, Jon Wiliams and Colin Macdonald.

This is the band’s first single, “Underwater”, released by Rock Is Dead Records. This song was a contender for the Vancouver Canucks goal song. I’ve heard great stories about the Canucks last week on their 10-1 game.
