Bears in Trees formed in a South London basement at the start of 2015. Created by four sixth form kids who never fit into the local music scene, Bears in Trees collated an eclectic pool of influences that never really felt cool; taking lyrical queues from the likes of mid - 2000's emo - pop and musical queues from the likes of happy - go - lucky indie rock.

Things I love about this video:
- Callum taking a solid 30 seconds to recognize Ibuprofen
- George consistently looking vaguely confused
- Nick absolutely JAMMING
- Iain just *hits nick's leg* "im joking"
- Nick having a crisis of self but I'm in the grass over sk8ter boy
- George and Callum launching straight into permanence perfectly
- Nick adding "by bears in trees" to the end of both of their songs
- Impromptu permanence jam session
- Callum and Iain matching hand movements!!!!!
- Their accents are so thick when they're all together it's adorable
in summary : good soup

[@hedvikastachovcova9864]

the most wholesome 9 minutes and 15 seconds of my life

[@riot4945]

I'm sitting at my computer with another 40 minutes of footage to edit for part 2 and rest assured it is another 38 minutes of wholesome footage and 2 minutes of carnage
