Bitter, Bitter weeks Tickets

Bitter, Bitter Weeks (BBW) is the Philadelphia-based indie/alternative rock project led by multi-talented producer and musician Brian McTear, with early collaborators including Amy Morrissey. Since forming in 2002, BBW carved out a guitar-centric, intimate vocal style that blends Americana-inflected songwriting with raw indie rock energy. The band’s early releases on My Pal God showcased a songwriter’s keen sense of melody and mood, earning attention from prominent outlets and establishing McTear as a notable figure in the Philadelphia music scene. Today, BBW remains a living part of the region's musical landscape, with live appearances in the Philadelphia area and continued influence through McTear's Miner Street affiliation.

BBW’s discography highlights three pivotal albums from the mid-2000s: Bitter Bitter Weeks (2003), Revenge (2004), and Peace Is Burning Like a River (2007). The debut drew coverage from Pitchfork, while Magnet Magazine recognized McTear as a key Philadelphia producer, underscoring the project’s impact on indie rock and the local scene. While 2025 saw no confirmed national tour dates, BBW has remained active in 2026, performing within the Philadelphia area.
