Well at least according to the Seattle Weekly‘s 2006 Music Awards Poll. Here’s what Weekly writer Rachel Shimp had to say about the band:

Like this year’s winners in the Punk/Hardcore category, Minus the Bear rose from the ashes of seminal Seattle hardcore/math-rock bands Botch, Kill Sadie, and Sharks Keep Moving. Since 2001, followers of Botch guitarist Dave Knudson looking for an update have been taken aback—and subsequently won over—by the new directions forged with MTB bandmates Jake Snider (guitars/vocals), Erin Tate (drums), and Cory Murchy (bass). Last year’s Menos el Oso, their second album for Suicide Squeeze, was produced by Matt Bayles of Isis/Mastodon fame and sounds like Yes, Fugazi, and Ted Leo at a picnic in Volunteer Park. As Urb writes, “Virtuoso musicianship + smart songwriting = Seth Cohen’s wet dream.”

For you Minus the Bear fans out there, the group is currently on tour with Thursday.

With his debut solo EP, Fewer Moving Parts, set for a June 13th release, the Post-Pedro David Bazan is ready to head out on tour. The new EP, which features two versions of five new songs — one with full instrumentation and the other acoustic, was performed and recorded entirely by Bazan and will be available only on the tour or his website. A full-length is currently in the works and is expected to be released in the spring of 2007.

In related news, Jade Tree just released Pedro the Lion’s 2004 Tour EP via iTunes and eMusic. The six-song EP had been sold out, but is expected to be available at traditional retailers in the future as well.
