The Red Pears are an indie/alternative band from El Monte, CA. The band consists of Henry Vargas on guitar and vocals, Jose Corona on drums, and their good friend Patrick Juarez helping on bass. The group started in the summer of 2014, when Jose and Henry got together with talks of forming another band having known each other since high school and playing in different groups, separately and together. Things took off from there as they both shared similar influences, similar backgrounds and similar mindsets and visions.
They started as a duo, with their first gig together being an open mic at a church. The duo became a trio and started playing anything from house parties, to bars, to coffee shops, to open mics. Things started moving fast as the release of 'We Bring Anything to the Table.. Except Tables, We Can't Bring Tables to the Table', garnered unexpected attention. They have continued playing and noticed a growth in their audience throughout the years since.
With a very loyal and supportive fan base, and with their latest record, 'For Today, For Tomorrow

Some of history’s best punk bands came and went before they had a chance to get comfortable (and boring), so it’s not surprising that PEARS frontman Zach Quinn had doubts when it came time to record the band’s third full-length. While PEARS have only existed since 2014, maybe a couple LPs and hundreds of explosive live shows were enough?
“I was perfectly prepared to have my Blue Album already,” Quinn says, laughing. “That whole fucking cliché of ‘Our best record’s behind us.’
With the imminent release of PEARS (March 6, Fat Wreck Chords), Quinn says, “Maybe not!” But there’s no maybe about it. PEARS is a significant step forward for a band that has grown by leaps and bounds on each album.
Recorded with Chris Fogal (The Gamits) at Black in Bluhm Studio in Denver, PEARS is 14 songs and 31 minutes of the band’s signature hardcore: heavy, melodic, blistering, pointed, and surprisingly catchy. While it continues down the path set by Green Star and 2015’s Go to Prison, PEARS finds the band taking a different creative approach.

The Pears play just-gotta-dance-rock, focusing on clean licks, tasty drums, gnarly bass lines, and sky-high vocal melodies. After getting their start at MIT in September 2007, they had some immediate magic but stopped playing for a while to finish their homework and get their hearts broken a little bit. The Pears' reformed with more serious plans in February 2008. Having built a devoted and thriving fan-base in the MIT community, The Pears are looking for exposure in the greater Boston scene.
The Pears are:
Will Bosworth (vox, keys, guitar) is The Pears' primary songwriter. He is formerly one half of The Pee-Shivers and responsible for TF Willie.
Jonathan Krones (bass guitar) got started playing the bass in Panic Kills Octo, and was the trombonist for the Supercosmic Transcendentaldam Orchestra.
Balaji Mani (drums) has been composing music (here) and other works (here) spanning the genres of jazz, electronica, folk acoustic, and even Senegalese percussion.
