Album Notes

A self-described "intimate rock band," Polar Bears have spent two years establishing themselves as one of the northern Bay Area's most captivating live bands. Much like their arctic counterparts might ravage a baby seal for breakfast, Polar Bears have left no witness unscathed by their crushing blend of angular lines, dance beats, and an encompassing onslaught of noise. Many clubs across the west coast tell the same story: Polar Bears perform and people wilt in joyful capitulation.

Polar Bears are the latest band to leave their Santa Rosa womb. With the likes of The Velvet Teen, Benton Falls and The New Trust they hit the road with their hometown pride and are fixed to help put Santa Rosa on the map.

Shorts Are For Warm is the anticipated culmination of Polar Bears' ministry thus far. Produced by The Frisk's Dan Kelly, the five-song EP firmly plants itself on the map between Nomeansno and The Rapture, between terror and release.
