Bands You Should See #11: Polarsets
Fresh from opening up the Evolution festival in Newcastle, North East band Polarsets have the confidence and the songs to make a name for themselves in the next year. The three-piece create sharp and incredibly catchy pop music which provides a surprisingly original sound. Taking influences from electro drum styles and synth riffs as well as tight guitar hooks Polarsets have the useful habit of getting a tune inside of your head. With singles such as ‘Leave Argentina’ and ‘Just Don’t Open Your Eyes Yet‘, this is certainly not a bad thing.
The band’s driving force is channelled from the energy of front man Rob Howe whose wonderful voice propels the bands upbeat refrains to another level providing a controlling force within the urgent synth-rock. Having already made a name for themselves in the North East and a famous fan in Michael Eavis, Polarsets have won a place to play at the celebrated Wickerman Festival this summer and seem destined to live up to the hype.
