We’re a modest bunch here at Owl and Bear. We don’t do what we do for the money, or the fame, or for the hundreds of thousands of beautiful San Diego babes who want to go out with us.

Instead, Owl and Bear is a labor of love: we pride ourselves on our writing, our taste, and our insanely snobby high standards. We don’t do it because anyone tells us to, we do it because it’s in our blood. Our blood. So, rather than spend a lot of time applauding our (admittedly) high-quality work, we like to let the content do the talking.

That said, we fucking rule. This month, Owl and Bear was named one of 944 Magazine‘s “Favorite Local Music Blogs” for the second year in a row!

We know we couldn’t have done this without you, which is why we’d like to thank our good friends at San Diego: Dialed In, NBC San Diego/SoundDiego, and Chris Cantore who all tirelessly spread the O&B gospel. We’d also like to thank the great venues in town, including (but not limited to) The Belly Up, The Casbah, The Tin Can Ale House, The Soda Bar, Bar Pink, and The Loft (and the Loft’s awesome Ashley “Cashlee” Lee who wrote the article).

We love you guys and we love San Diego. We’re proud to serve you. Also, to whomever is in charge of the prize money for this major award, please get in touch soon. Our bills don’t pay themselves, you know.
