Nashville heavy melodic duo Friendship Commanders release their fourth studio album BEAR via Magnetic Eye Records. Co-produced with Kurt Ballou, the record explores themes of belonging and outsider identity through intense yet hopeful songwriting. Frontwoman Buick Audra and drummer Jerry Roe balance heaviness and melody across ten tracks that fuse emotional honesty with sonic firepower. The band self-produced the striking video for lead single “DRAIN,” a visceral meditation on personal authenticity. BEAR captures the duo’s boldest and most expansive sound yet—a raw, cathartic declaration for anyone who’s ever felt like they didn’t fit in.
