Ryan Beattie recently released
the latest Himalayan Bear album called "Hard Times". I had the
opportunity to speak with him on the eve of his latest tour. Ryan
has a self described "fetish for reverb". I told him how much I
appreciate what that does to the overall vocal sound of "Hard
Times". He told me about recording a majority of the album at The
Last Resort and how that it added to the feel of the record. We
also talked about his influences, and the music scene in his
hometown of Victoria BC. Ryan also started the critically acclaimed
band Chet, and he plays guitar in Frog Eyes. You can visit Ryan at

catch him on tour. Please check out the new album, as
well!
