In the spring of 2009 I was planning on seeing The Gaslight Anthem in Germany and decided to check the band that was supporting them on that tour. That band's name was Polar Bear Club, a name that meant nothing to me, but I knew TGA would not take just any band with them. I ended up not going to the show, but finding one of my future favorite bands. I fell in love with Polar Bear Club immediately, I mean, have you heard Jimmy Stadt's singing? Well, you better! They make the perfect mixture of post hardcore and punk rock with a slight note of 90s emo. Right after their first album they joined the great Bridge9 Records and released two more. Hopefully we'll be able to hear a new one in 2013! "Screams in Caves" is a song from the album Clash Battle Guilt Pride that came out in 2011 and the video is definitely worth watching.
