POLAR, THE OKLAHOMA KID und INRETROSPECT

In the organizer's words:

Since 2009, Polar have created a relentless, chaotic and raw sound that goes hand in hand with a notoriously energetic live show. Over the past 15 years, Polar have given their all to build a reputation and become a force to be reckoned with. In 2023, Polar underwent a major line-up change, with founding member Adam Woodford (vocalist) carrying the torch as the relationship between the former members dissolved. Determined to turn a negative situation into a positive one, Adam Woodford rebuilt Polar and brought Stefan Whiting (bass), Bruno Consani (guitar), Simon Richardson (guitar) and Max Flohr (drums) on board to give Polar a new lease of life. With a fresh perspective and positivity, the newly formed Polar have played the main stage at Resurrection Festival, toured Europe and the UK. And they have written and recorded their sixth studio album "Five Arrows" with producer Jack Murphy (Crystal Sound Studios), which Polar consider to be their strongest work to date. Polar have found a new positivity and determination, the band feel truly unstoppable and continue to grow from strength to strength. Polar are stronger than ever and nothing will stand in their way.

The band released their new album "Five Arrows" on November 22nd, 2024. About the album, Adam Woodford says: "'Five Arrows' is the beginning of a brand new era of Polar, and the record is a symbol of resilience. The album allows the band to break musically with what's come before and push the sound in a whole new direction, without losing the rawness and energy the band is known for. In keeping with the newfound sound, the lyrics delve into the theme of the destructive power of change and the positive and negative aspects associated with it."
