Ohio indie rock band Spirit of the Bear will unveil their new EP this July.

Announced today, their five-song EP There’s No Such Thing As Fire will be released on July 15. The EP will feature previously released songs “Wires” and “Live on the Sun.” A new song from the release titled “The More Of You The Better” can be heard below. The band said this about the tune, which is out on digital services right now:

“’The More Of You The Better’ is a shining example of us at a very experimental time in terms of how we wanted to write. Anyone who has listened to us for a long time has seen us dip our toes into the 70s aesthetic before, but for this song it felt like the only way it would work is if we fully leaned into that vibe. We all have such diverse influences amongst the band that at this point we’re all fans of each other’s favorite music so making a song like TMOYTB feels very natural even though it may seem like a huge jump from some of our other material. Making songs like these new ones we’ve been releasing has been so great, because it expands our song writing pallet and makes us that much more excited to discover what else we could come up with.”

Spirit of the Bear will have a handful of shows leading up to the EP’s release. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets are on sale to the general public right now.
