"Feeding Line" was the lead single from Boy & Bear's debut album Moonfire, released in May 2011, and it's where the band shook off the gentle folk-harmony tag and started swinging. Written by Killian Gavin, Jon Hart, Tim Hart and David Hosking, it's a wound-up, muscular indie rock tune, all tight rhythm and forward lean; one critic heard it as a truer picture of what made them such a charged live act.
It climbed to 46 on the ARIA chart and was certified double platinum in 2020. At the 2011 ARIA Awards it picked up two nominations and won Breakthrough Artist - Single, and the band played it on the night.
