WHERE 170 RUSSELL, NAARM/MELBOURNE, VICTORIA
WHEN FRIDAY MARCH 10TH, 2023
Cutting their teeth on gruff, angsty metalcore in PCYCs and pubs around Eora/Sydney - then the rest of the country, then (inevitably) the world - Polaris fast rose to their hard-earned stature as one of the most exciting bands in the scene; especially impressive since their first release came in 2013 (the rough-and-tumble EP, which hasn’t aged too horribly), when the second wave of metalcore was in the stages of fizzling out. So to celebrate their first decade of musical destruction, Polaris took to some (relatively) intimate theatres, a lineup of their closest local mates in tow, for a soul-splitting drag race down memory lane.
