Massive thanks to Jadd Shickler and everyone at Magnetic Eye Records! It’s an honor to be part of the family.

We hope BEAR finds you where you are, and that it makes you feel like you belong somewhere, because you do. You belong with us! friendshipcommanders.bandcamp.com/album/bear

We made this record with our friend Kurt Ballou at GodCity in Salem, MA. Huge thanks to him, Zach Weeks, and Brad Boatright for their invaluable work! You made all of our sonic dreams come true.

BEAR IS OUT! Thrilled to share our fourth album with you today! A project about belonging, being an outsider, and embracing the margins. It’s yours now and we hope you love it as much as we do!

One of my favorite bands from back home is @fcommanders.bsky.social and they have a fantastic new record out today called BEAR. Sick riffs, dynamic drumming, gorgeous lyrics; all of my favorite things in one killer musical package. You’re gonna wanna check this one out.

Tomorrow the homies in @fcommanders.bsky.social drop Bear 🐻. It is beyond phenomenal and you just have to check it out.

Not sure if it’s rock, metal or something else, but who really cares. This album rips.

Let me know if you’re looking forward to Bear, or something else?
