Once upon a time, not too long ago, in an enchanted land somewhere in middle America (hint: Cleveland, Ohio) lived two humble boys. The two humble boys soon discovered that they shared a fierce (perhaps fanatical) love for music. So the two humble boys formed a band, which they decided to call Bears. The two humble boys began playing music and decided to make the most beautiful bedroom pop record ever written. They released this album of exquisite, morose, dreamy pop music before they ever even played a live show.

The two humble boys sang quiet, delicate songs that were similar to Simon & Garfunkel or Belle & Sebastian. The songs that they sang were very sad, but they were also very beautiful. So intensely beautiful, in fact, that when the two humble boys sang them, the entire world slowed to a standstill and every living being in existence was left hypnotized; overtaken with bliss.

Meanwhile, all across the land, many music lovers happened upon the songs made by the two humble boys by way of a new invention called “the internet”. The music lovers rejoiced, for they had never heard anything so magnificent. One by one, the music lovers fell in love with the songs — praising them on their blogs and to their friends. Sometimes even emailing the two humble boys with their praise and adoration.

Naturally, the music lovers wanted to see the two humble boys play the songs in person. And as it turns out, the two humble boys had just recently decided to play their first show. Imagine the music lovers’ delight when the two humble boys walked onstage not by themselves, but with four others! The two humble boys had recruited three more humble boys and one humble girl to ensure that the songs they were to play sounded so majestic that even God himself would be left gasping for breath from their heavenly melodies.

And so it was. The five humble boys and one humble girl had begun their quest to immerse the land in the sweet, sweet transcendence of their songs. Their journey would continue until the end of time, and mankind would live in euphoric ecstasy for all eternity.
