Bears in Trees are an English indie rock band from Croydon, South London, England.
'[2][3] In October 2020, Bears in Trees announced that they had been signed by Boston label Counter Intuitive Records.
"[6] Childhood friends Callum Litchfield and Iain Gillespie formed the band in 2014 after the dissolution of their previous project, The November Criminals,[7] which also included Bears in Trees guitarist Nicholas "Nick" Peters.
The band cites Fall Out Boy, The Front Bottoms, Modern Baseball, The Wombats, Walk the Moon, The 1975,[8] Dodie and Cavetown[9] as their main influences, but have also referred to many others on their social media.
The band has since removed Let's Sleep On It from all streaming services except Bandcamp and SoundCloud, because they say the album doesn't "accurately reflect [their] sound anymore".
