Poised to be one of the biggest and best bands of 2009, Polar Bear Club is excited to announce the track listing, and show off the fabulous cover art for their Bridge Nine debut full-length, Chasing Hamburg. This ten song, soon-to-be-hailed masterpiece was produced by Matt Bayles ( Minus The Bear, Mastadon) and is currently slated to hit stores on September 8th, 2009. Polar Bear Club drummer Emmett Menke said, “The new songs are overall a bit shorter and more upbeat, while somehow getting a little darker. Lyrically, they’re a lot more personal than our previous efforts. We're very happy with the final product.” Check out new song titles and artwork below.
In preparation for the fall release, the guys of PBS are heading out on a U.S. tour beginning August 1st with Four Year Strong and Set Your Goals. Menke went on to say, “…we’re really excited about getting back out on tour in August and playing some places we've never played before and making some new friends!” Polar Bear Club will inevitably be showcasing material off of Chasing Hamburg while on the road this summer, making this a tour not to miss!
