14 Iced Bears were a British indie pop band associated with the C86 music scene. Formed in Brighton in 1985, by Rob Sekula and Nick Emery the band featured a shifting line-up of musicians across their seven-year existence, centred around songwriter and vocalist Rob Sekula and guitarist Kevin Canham. The name came form a pack a biscuits that Emery and Sekula creatively changed from 15 to 14. Their jangly indie pop was characterised by a fuzzy protopunk-influenced guitar sound, and saw them receive modest critical acclaim in Britain's music press as well as prompting disc jockey John Peel to recruit them to record a couple of sessions for his programme on BBC radio.The group released a handful of singles, including "Come Get Me" on the influential Sarah label, and two full-length albums: the eponymous 14 Iced Bears (1988), and Wonder (1991). Their impact continues to be felt. In 2003 14 Iced Bears were name checked in the indie pop anthem "Twee" by the band Tullycraft and their song The Balloon Song was recorded by The Aislers Set for their 2001 album The Last Match.

In 2001 Slumberland released the In The Beginning compilation which would be the ideal release to use as a starting point.
Come Get Me was released on Sarah Records in 1988.
