 Hailing from Guildford, Polar made a name for themselves with their explosive debut EP ‘This Polar Noise’. Following this with relentless touring anywhere they could play, Polar made their intent obvious from the outset. Eventually following ‘This Polar Noise’ with a full length debut in 2012 entitled ‘Iron Lungs‘ which was a continuation of the brutal and raw sound that they were becoming to be known for. ‘Inspire Create  Destroy’ is a progression from this and a clear indication that the band are not ready to settle.

I’ll admit, I was pretty late in the game to hearing The Front Bottoms. I first listened to them a out 6 weeks ago. The reasoning was twofold; I’m a horribly biased person who decided they were probably just Pitchfork fodder.

The full line-up’s been announced, the dates are sold out and the infamous Slam Dunk weekend is drawing closer as we speak. Everybody’s got their own plan for they’re going to see and the comments sections are full of argumentative trolls flaming over different bands on various stages.

It sort of reminded me of a biker gang headquarters, but drinks were cheap and cider was aplenty, so it gets a thumbs up. The sound in the venue wasn’t wonderful, but with the live act room being so cramped, it wasn’t bad. Support for the night came from Closure in Moscow, Affiance, and Violet, but after getting lost somewhere in London I only managed to catch Closure in Moscow and the headliners, Dance Gavin Dance. Sporting garish blazers/waistcoats, Closure in Moscow were not only humorous, with multiple one-liners and irrelevant ... Read More »
