Hailing from Brooklyn, NY and possessing musical skill far beyond their middle school ages, Care Bears on Fire have become favorites on the New York City club scene, winning over jaded hipsters of all ages with their authentic punk spirit and songs that capture the experience of being a kid with attitude and humor.
There's no mistaking Care Bears On Fire are the real deal! These three girls (aged 13-14) formed the band while attending Rock Camp for Girls and based it on their shared love of first wave NY punk artists like Patti Smith and The Ramones. Their infectious sound and rebel spirit are an all-ages breath of fresh air. What better way to make your debut than an anthem about asserting your individuality with an accompanying color-by-numbers inspired video? Check out the video.
The "Everybody Else" single is available on iTunes and the band is finishing up work on their debut album due to be released later this year. Check them out live at one of these dates.

Care Bears On Fire biography
Sophie (lead vocals, guitarist, 13 years old), Izzy (drummer, 13 years old) and Jena (Bass, 14 years old) are Care Bears On Fire. Hailing from Brooklyn, NY, the young band have become favorites on the New York City club scene, winning over jaded hipsters of all ages with their authentic punk spirit and songs that capture the experience of being a kid with attitude and humor. “Everbody Else” is their self-penned debut single, played by the self-contained band with ferocious energy.
The 8th Graders have already been featured in Spin Magazine, which enthused: "This trio are old-school classicists dressed up in Chuck Taylors." The band's guitarist Sophie was also featured in Converse's acclaimed "Three Chords" commercial, playing an acoustic version of "Everybody Else," featured on their forthcoming album. Care Bears on Fire are punk meets garage, straight out of a Brooklyn basement. As the song chorus goes: "Nanananananana, I don't want to be like everybody else!," it's become quite clear, Care Bears on Fire aren't like everybody else. They're the real deal.

press quotes
"One of the highlights of the day [at the Underage Festival] were Care Bears on Fire , three helplessly cutesy girls (all under 15) belting out crowd-pleasing anthems such as 'Everybody Else'." - Alexandra Cracknell - The Observer
"Still not even in their teens, Brooklyn trio, Care Bears on Fire are cooking up some serious garage punk sounds that will make bands twice their age turn green with envy." - Artrocker Magazine
“This trio of 12-year olds have made it farther than most bands ever will. They have produced a solid debut and are on a pathway to stardom.” - hockeyguitar99 - Absolutepunk.net
"They're not the first kid rock band…and they won't be the last but they may be the most compelling. Singer Sophie is 12 going on 13... At the same time, she plays a meaner guitar solo than many of her adult contemporaries, while Izzy hits her drums with a preternatural flamboyance." - Paul MacInnes - Guardian.co.uk
"Three Brooklyn-based seventh graders who play alarmingly catchy pop punk.... Unlike most of the kid-fronted bands out there, Care Bears on Fire are more than a novelty act. They play a kind of witty garage rock that should make most toiling bar bands seriously envious." - Lizzy Goodman - Blender.com
"As a live act, Care Bears On Fire are hipper than imaginable, possessing the intangible punk rock attitude lacked by most modern acts. Perhaps it is because their act is not propelled by ego or affectation, just an unadulterated commitment to playing stellar music — sharp, infectious punk riffs that unapologetically pulse through their audience." - kristyn Pomranz - Venuszine.com
"If you liked their EP or just want to hear some rock by kids...you'll love "I Stole Your Animal"." - Charlie Heller - New York Post.
"...fast and furious brand of power-punk garage pop is as catchy as it comes." - Carol Candeloro - Dish Music Guide - Dishmag.com
"...the pumping defiant kid-pride anthem "Everybody Else" shows there's hope in these days of Hannah Montana and High School Musical homogeneneity." - Randy Harward - Harp Magazine
