Rise and Shine by The Bears
Rise and Shine is an album by The Bears, released in 1988. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 2 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Aches and Pains”, on 2 lists with a best position of #261.
Rise and Shine, the Bears' 1988 follow-up to their self-titled debut, is Cincinnati power pop with a mad scientist in the lab. Adrian Belew, who played guitar, sang and produced, brings his avant-garde guitar playing to songs that are otherwise as tuneful and well-mannered as a Sunday drive. Rob Fetters trades guitars and vocals with him, while Chris Arduser on drums and Bob Nyswonger on bass keep things tidy and bouncing.
They cut it digitally at Royal Recorders in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, in November and December 1987, and Ted Jensen mastered it at Sterling Sound in New York, which explains the crisp, bright, very late-'80s shine. "Aches and Pains" is the pick for the countdowns, and the band took the album out across North America.
