When Bridge 9 announced the addition of Polar Bear Club to their roster, I thought the label finally was going to cash in on the emo hype. Come on Polar Bear Club, what kind of bandname is that. Do you really think Youth Of Today or Minor Threat would have become huge if those bands were called Polar Bear Club? Then again Gorilla Biscuits might be in the same league.
Let's set the bandname aside and focus on the music. Well Polar Bear Club sure rock! They're no Fall Out Boy revisited but a gruffy sounding punkrock band in the best Hot Water Music tradition. Together with 'our' own The Tenement Kids these Americans make a new record by Gainesvilles' greatest completely superfluous.
Every punkrocker with a beard should check em out!
