PEARS aus New Orleans wollen sich zwischen Thrash, Hardcore und Punk nicht entscheiden und stellen mit “Comfortably Dumb!” den hoerbaren Beweis dazu bereit. Am 6. Maerz erscheint das schlicht "Pears" betitelte neue Album der Band aus New Orleans via Fat Wreck Chords.
Die Platte entstand zusammen mit Chris Fogal (The Gamits) in den Black in Bluhm Studios in Denver. Frontmann Zach Quinn kommentiert:
“I was perfectly prepared to have my Blue Album already. That whole fucking cliché of ‘Our best record’s behind us. The last PEARS record, almost every detail was worked out before we ever stepped foot into the studio. This record, we went in with skeletons of songs and put things together on the fly. ”
