Edward Bear was a Toronto based Canadian pop-rock group, formed originally in 1966 by Larry Evoy and Craig Hemming. The band signed with Capitol Records in 1969 with a lineup of Evoy, Danny Marks and Paul Weldon. Full-blown "late psych/early prog" music based on doomy Hammond organ sounds, intense and heavy guitar parts. Beatles-like melodies and blues elements, quite similar to early Traffic, Procol Harum and even Andwella's Dream.
