Rochester and Syracuse, New York (2005 – present)
Polar Bear Club is a punk rock/post-hardcore band from Rochester and Syracuse, New York. A demo released in 2005 brought them much attention, and was a precursor to their first EP, The Redder, the Better, released in Summer 2006 on Triple Attack and Luchador Records. The EP contained catchy, pop-punk songs with lots of of opportunities for energetic sing-a-longs, and was found to be a fan and zine favorite throughout the year.
The band’s debut full-length, Sometimes Things Just Disappear was released in March 2008, also receiving glowing reviews from an even wider number of webzines and great reception from their rapidly growing fanbase. Appearances in “best of” lists followed, as well as tours with The Gaslight Anthem, American Steel, Crime in Stereo, A Wilhelm Scream and Cancer Bats, leading to the band’s signing to Bridge Nine Records, officially announced on January 8, 2009. The label at the same time announced they would issue Sometimes Things Just Disappear on vinyl sometime during spring.
In February/March 2009, the band toured the UK and Europe with The Gaslight Anthem and Frank Turner, with a small string of UK headlining dates subsequent to the tour. During the European visit, they announced plans to return for a US tour with labelmates Have Heart. They also announced that they were to start work on a new album, to be produced by Matt Bayles.

The Story So Far are an average band made worse by bad lyrics. The start of Close Knit; Killin It from 1:20 to 2:10; Life Between The Lines from 3:14 to the end; Religion On The Radio 2:25 to the end; The start of 3-4 Tango; See The Wind from 2:00 to the end; The star of Boxes; The end of Take Me To The Town; The start of Chasing Hamburg. This is all without even considering the Demo, Redder The Better, and Sometimes Things Just Disappear. You guys are the same annoying dudes who get mad when I don't want to stand still at a Defeater show. Punk music is about releasing aggression in a positive way, nothing wrong with moshing to this band, or any band with slightly heavier parts.

"Polar Bear Club has so much shit that is perfect to mosh to" You'd have to try pretty damn hard to mosh to this band. What are you gonna do, 2-step to Bug Parade?

If The Story So Far weren't on that bill it'd sound fucking great. Also, Polar Bear Club has so much shit that is perfect to mosh to. You can have a pit AND sing-alongs.

The tour actually sounds awesome, and I would love to see all of those bands together, but I really don't want to worry a 17/18 year old Billy Badass getting his "Pop Mosh" on and beating the hell out of everybody he can hit. What happened to stage-diving and sing-alongs at Pop Punk shows?

Why does who's attending matter if all the bands on the (supposed) bill are fucking awesome? Although I will admit the last time I saw them was even more perfect (B&C, Fireworks, MDAM)

Also, Clash. Battle. Guilt. Pride. was the best record of 2011.

I hope that tour doesn't happen. The last thing I want to deal with is "Pop Punk Kids" crowd-killing the whole time.

There's rumors of a tour this spring with these guys, TWY, Transit, The Story So Far, and A Loss For Words. If it's true, I will literally piss myself from excitement.
