2018 saw POLAR STATES cement their reputation as one of the Uk’s most exciting new bands, signing with Killing Moon Records following the band entering Spotify’s Viral 50 chart, and selling out a string of shows across the UK and Europe.

Having grown up in towns dotted around the Northwest of England, the band came together with a relentless aspiration to create an existence bigger than the world they were born into, pushing back on foregone notions of how you should live your life.

They spent their first two years quietly writing and refining their sound, whilst privately sending out demos to their followers on Instagram. This sparked an early cult following, built on the back of songs documenting their immediate surroundings and honest experiences.

The buzz surrounding the band caught the attention of Coldplay Producer, John Withnall, and BBC Introducing Merseyside’s Dave Monks, who quickly pushed the bands first official release through onto Radio 1 and 6 Music, all before their first gig.

Further Radio 1 airtime, slots on the Topman playlist, Kendal Calling, Liverpool Sound City, The Great Escape Festival and more followed, before the band went back to the studio to complete their forthcoming EP. The EP is a co-production with Larry Hibbitt (Sundara Karma, Nothing But Thieves, Sea Girls, Bloxx).
