Care Bears On Fire is a Brooklyn, New York-based band that consists of Sophie (vocals and guitar) and Izzy (drums). The group originally formed in 2005 with the Care Bears—singer-guitarist Sophie Kasakove, 11, bassist-singer Lucio Westmoreland, 11, and drummer-singer Isadora “Izzy” Schappell-Spillman, 10, all classmates at Park Slope’s Berkeley Carroll School. After their bass player, Lucio, departed from the band he was replaced with LuLu and lastly, Jena (who left in 2011).
The band labels itself as a pop punk group, mixing in alternative and garage rock elements. The band released their first, full length LP, I Stole Your Animal on 28 September 2007, at a release party in Brooklyn. Their second album, Get Over It, was released in July 2009 on S-Curve Records. In February 2007, the aspiring trio had their Manhattan debut at Pianos, an event which wasn't advertised as all ages, however most of the crowd had been much older than any of the band members. Shortly after their Big Apple debut, the band began working on new material. The band formally released their debut LP album, I Stole Your Animal on 2 October 2007, and four days prior at a release party in Manhattan. The album received positive reviews from critics,with publications such as Detour stating that "The songs are catchy, with an earnest rhythm section backing up the same big guitar chords the grownup garage-punk bands use," and Anna Creech Blogcritics Magazine praising the album as "a must-have for modern rock fans." Sophie is featured on a 2007 Converse ad, playing an acoustic version of their song, "Everybody Else".
Care Bears on Fire recently released their second full-length album Get Over It!, on S-Curve Records July 14, 2009. While the band wrote most of the material themselves, they collaborated with Fountains of Wayne's Adam Schlesinger and Travis Clark of We The Kings on a handful of songs. The album also includes a new version of the song "Everybody Else," produced by Steve Greenberg and S*A*M and Sluggo, which was released on iTunes as a single in January 2009. The band played the Bamboozle Festival in Spring 2009. They were touring with Nat and Alex Wolff in July/August 2009 and have recently been featured on KidzBop.com's "Artists 2 Know".
