Unsigned Shropshire band Black Bear Kiss back with third single
Former The Ticket Unsigned stars Black Bear Kiss are kicking off 2019 by releasing a new single.
The Shropshire-based band, with links to Shrewsbury and and Telford as well as Wolverhampton and Walsall, will be asking fans to Follow Me when their new tracks hits all major download platforms on January 18.
It follows the success of their previous two singles Hooks and Secret Side, and is described by the rockers as 'a positive and powerful song from start to finish'.
A spokesman added: "It does not divert from the infectious Black Bear Kiss style. Lyrically this track speaks of the pressures of modern day life and how we cope with constantly changing expectations."
The track also features a guest appearance from acclaimed Birmingham rapper and motivational speaker Leo Golden Child.
The spokesman continued: "Combining multiple genres is never an easy thing, but the upbeat, bass-driven style of Black Bear Kiss naturally lends itself to this collaboration.

"After meeting Leo at a charity fundraiser in 2017, Black Bear Kiss were keen to try something different and asked Leo to feature on their new single.
"The track's accompanying video is filmed in an urban environment. Highlighting the natural charisma and showmanship of a classic Black Bear Kiss performance. Leo’s positive lyrics and upbeat personality add another dimension to the layers of this addictive track, creating a fundamentally feel good song."
The video will be able to be seen on their Youtube channel when it goes live..

Black Bear Kiss are a high-energy, five-piece melodic indie rock band consisting of Chris Leech on vocals, Colin Haden on lead guitar, Rob Jones on rhythm guitars, Rich Sach on bass and backing vocals and Chris Bagnall on drums and backing vocals.
Their sound fuses a number of musical styles spanning genres from grunge to funk. Formed in late 2016, early success was gained from the use of their debut single Hooks by Wolves for promotional material, along with gigs at the 02 venues in Birmingham and across the UK.
