Bridge Nine records have started 2009 pretty well
and unveiled a few new signings to their label,
the latest singing that is the New York based band
Polar Bear Club.
Polar Bear Club formed in 2005 and then went
on to release their debut EP ‘The Redder
The Better’ before heading off to the studio
again to record their debut full length album
‘Sometimes Things Just Disappear’
which was released on Red Leader Records back
in 2008 which helped the band become one of the
most talked about new bands in American during
that time.
Now Bridge Nine Records have signed the band
they are currently working on their debut album
for the label but in the meantime are re-releasing
‘Sometimes Things Just Disappear’
on Bridge Nine Records which should help build
their profile more having it released on a well
known and loved label.
The best way to describe Polar Bear Club if you
are yet to come across them is Hot Water Music
mixed with Rise Against minus the political themes;
they are fun and exciting and have a solid sounding
album under their belts.
‘Sometimes Things Just Disappear’
is totally a five star album, everything about
this album rocks and I can’t find a negative
thing to say about it. You will be excited from
the moment you hear the Tim Mcllrath Rise Against
style vocals open up the album on ‘Eat Dinner,
Bury The Dog’ right through until the last
beat of the closing track ‘Convinced I’m
Wrong’
Every song on the album is really listenable
but every album has a few tracks that stand out
more than the rest and for me those tracks have
to be the opening track ‘Eat Dinner, Bury
The Dog, And run’ and ‘Heart Attack
At Thirty‘. Not only is the first track
greatly named but it’s actually a masterpiece
with the way that it starts off slow then the
song lights up with a mixture of melodic and gruff
sounding vocals singing very witty well written
lyrics. The later of the two tracks stands out
just for the fact that it is a really fast paced
punk song that’s full of bouncy bass lines
and melodic sing-along moments with you will never
forget.
Even know ‘Sometimes Things Just Disappear’
is a re-release it happens to be my favourite
album to be released on Bridge Nine Records since
they released the New Found Glory and International
Superstars Of Hardcore split album last year,
I love Polar Bear Club and can’t wait for
their forthcoming studio album.
5/5
