Polar Bear Club Update

Hello! so after the success of the show a few weeks ago we have an update for everyone!
theres some news on the new album from Polar Bear Club, a video and some epic photos we you all to see!

1st off heres what Jimmy from PBC had to say about the new album which will be out on bridge nine records sometime in 09'!

Jimmy : Yes! Its mostly written , we spent January writing it so were going home after this tour and then then we go out with Have Heart and then record in April, and so yea its mostly done but we gotta go home and tidy things up in our short time off, its interesting... its polar bear club definitely but there's some songs that are kind of like... I always thought polar bear club the music was kind of like this grey area between punk and hardcore and indie or whatever.
I always thought the songs were kind of in the middle and there is definitely songs like that on there, you know where its not knowing what style or what genre it is, but there's a couple songs where the hardcore songs are more hardcore and the punk rock songs get more punk rock, but there's still that grey iffy area, with some songs leaning on the outside, but its cool im really excited about it actually we've been working really hard on it, I just want to get those songs out there you know! Just it takes so long for the whole process to come together, I'm ready for people to know the songs!
