In five short years, New Jersey quartet THE GASLIGHT ANTHEM have gone from punk rock bruisers to one of the most celebrated & prolific modern rock acts on the scene.

Their debut album ʻSink or Swimʼ turned a lot of heads upon its release, and the band became quickly singled out as one to watch for the future with Kerrang! pronouncing them as "The best new band you'll hear in 2008". Wearing their influences as badges of honour, it was the release of ʻThe 59 Soundʼ that saw them blasting out soulful punk rock, strewn with bittersweet memories of small-town blue-collar America. They had created a monster that would go down as “one of the greatest rock albums ever crafted.” – Sputnik Music

Not one to rest on their laurels THE GASLIGHT ANTHEM released ʻAmerican Slangʼ in June to a swathe of critical and fan acclaim. ”American Slang is one of the most exciting rockʼnʼroll records since global warming hit the headlines. Listening to it, you can almost hear the stadium roar that played live these songs will likely inspire.” – Uncut

Effortlessly seaming together the sounds of 90s punk and hardcore with a refreshingly 2000s style and their own personal twist, POLAR BEAR CLUB are undoubtedly legends in the making. For now, one thing is certain: their latest album 'Chasing Hamburg' is an inevitable classic thatʼs sure to please fans of many different music genres – punk, hardcore, emo, and everything else in between. "With 'Chasing Hamburg', POLAR BEAR CLUB has created an incredibly artistic and hard-hitting punk album that shows plenty of taste and sensibility" - Sputnik Music

Bringing their energetic and impassioned live set in support of THE GASLIGHT ANTHEM, "Polar Bear Club play a type of music that translates well from album to live… they donʼt rely on overpolished vocals or other neat studio tricks to make their music great. Itʼs their passion for what theyʼre doing that does it" - AbsolutePunk.net
