Pop is a tag thats been assigned to Minus The Bear throughout their career. Its been used to set a distinction between the unique brand of complex indie rock they introduced on their first EP and the more angular and aggravated sounds of their previous bands Botch, Kill Sadie, and Sharks Keep Moving. Its also a tag that was thrown around frequently in the wake of their streamlined fourth album, OMNI. And its a descriptor that immediately comes to mind within the first few seconds of their classic second formal EP, They Make Beer Commercials Like This. Now celebrating its 10-year anniversary and first time in print since 2011, Beer Commercials is the evolutionary step between Minus The Bears first two landmark albums, Highly Refined Pirates and Menos El Oso. Opening track Fine + 2 Points remains one of the bands strongest opening tracks in their discography, charging out of the gates with a syncopated stomp that comes across as a more agitated take on Kylie Minogues Cant Get You Outta My Head.
