About this Event

Forget what you think you know about Polar. All who hear the new offering are set for a big shock. This is Polar 2.0. The beginning of something truly special. “Shadowed By Vultures” is a true masterpiece. Recorded by Neil Kennedy at The Ranch Studios and Mastered by Oz Craggs at Hidden Track Studios, the album features back to back anthems, soaring hooks & blistering riffs.



The first single, “Glass Cutter” was released in October 2013 with Daniel P. Carter taking the premiere for the Radio 1 Rock Show and the astonishing video was unleashed by Rock Sound. The single has since received a wealth of radio and TV play from the likes of Kerrang Radio/TV, Team Rock Radio, Scuzz (where it was the number 1 video on the channel) and now numerous plays on BBC Radio 1.



Since their formation in the quintessential English City of Guildford in 2009, POLAR have been on a merciless & devastating pursuit of as many unsuspecting audiences as possible. POLAR supported such acts as Gallows, Trash Talk, This Is Hell, Feed The Rhino & TRC. POLAR left countless awestruck & many more battered when they instigated one of the largest & most destructive circle pits of Hevy Festival 2011, proving to all that they are one of the UK’s most exciting live bands.



In February of that same year, the band saw the release of their explosive & critically lauded debut EP ‘This Polar Noise’. The band received BBC Radio 1 and Kerrang! radio airplay. POLAR also conquered our tellys with their terrifying music video ‘Tonight Matthew I am The Batman’ peaking at no.1 on the Scuzz Chart.



A little over a year since the release of their EP, POLAR were back with their debut album ‘Iron Lungs’ (released May 7th 2012). Recorded in January 2012 with Steve Sears & Tom Mitchener of Spy Catcher, ‘Iron Lungs’ was the fuel which to ignite their career and leave behind it a wake of exhausted exhilaration. Heavy & menacing melodies sustained the bands guttural & ferocious punk crash throughout. In May of this year, the band teamed up with Oli Sykes’ (Bring Me The Horizon) clothing label Drop Dead to release their EP, “Inspire Create Destroy”. No longer the scrappy hardcore-punk band from Surrey, the quintet had matured to draw influences from all corners of the alternative music world. A heightened sense of melody and rhythm enabled Polar to take a dramatic turn to the band’s future. That year also saw them tour with While She Sleeps, Young Guns and Defeater.



The success of the campaign with Drop Dead provided for touring with Heights and 2 tours with the bands heroes, Funeral For A Friend before coming off the road to prepare for the 2nd full length album, “Shadowed By Vultures” scheduled for release on April 15 via Prosthetic Records in North America.
