About

Two Bears North

since circa 2012
Sophie Heppell and Melissa Walker spent the last six years perfecting the formula that became the Edmonton based band Two Bears North. Heppell's melodic sense, Walker's incomparable groove and the addition of Nich Davies on drums have made the band unstoppable. Winner of People's Choice at the 2014 Edmonton Music Awards, their nine song debut album Comeocean, released December 2013, received an additional five EMA nominations including Album of the Year and was named the top Edmonton album of 2013 by Gigcity.ca. “Sophie’s vocals and Melissa’s bass grooves blend perfectly into a roiling sandstorm of bliss” -New Music Michael Blog

Comeocean is a unification of a yearning for the ocean and the commotion of an obsessive and neurotic mind. These two West Coast women finding each other in the prairies and bearing the North together; on a journey to figure out the complexities of the human psyche. "Tight, punchy, pop-rock replete with melodic hooks, intricate rhythms, and some inexplicable/intangible quality that makes it all so utterly charming." - Rokline Magazine. With upright and electric bass, vocal harmonies, electric guitar, synth, glockenspiel, violin, trumpet, drums and various percussion, Comeocean is bound to sound refreshing to music listeners anywhere. The entire album is an extended dialogue between the head and the heart. It is a constant yearning for comfort in our surroundings and relationships but realizing that becoming content and complacent may be the biggest fear of all.

The album has garnered attention from music publications including VUE Weekly, Edmonton Journal and Rokline Magazine and several tracks are part of various compilation CDs. Two Bears North have received significant radio play from CBC Radio 1 (Edmonton), CKUA, and Canadian Campus Radio charting nationwide at 134 for December 2013 on Earshot charts. Two Bears North is booked for Canadian Music Week (Toronto), Cathedral Arts Festival (Regina), Lilac Festival (Calgary), Sweetwater 905 Festival (Rolla, BC), Sasquatch Gathering (Evansburg, AB), and Taste of Edmonton Festival for Summer 2014.
