THE VIMS with SPIRIT OF THE BEAR (Youngstown, OH)

With catchy hooks and layered melodies, The Vims have fashioned an amalgam of alternative rock and pop influences into a full, melodic and meaningful style of songwriting that truly welcomes the return of a guitar-centered style to modern music. They released their debut EP "Set It Up" in the Winter of 2018 and followed with their sophomore album "A Case of The Vims" in the Spring of 2019. The Vims have supported national acts such as Moon Taxi, Harbour and Argonaut & Wasp with their interactive, high-energy sets that create a dynamic atmosphere where it’s impossible to stand still.

Originally from Youngstown, Ohio, but now located in Columbus, Spirit of the Bear launched themselves quickly into the local spotlight after forming when they met in high school. Their sound, a unique blend of indie rock and electronic influences, is prevalent throughout their recordings and live performances, and this element makes Spirit of the Bear one of the most exciting rock acts around today.
