Our friends at Punknews (dot) org are reporting that upstate NY’s hardcore pride and joy Polar Bear Club have signed to Red Leader Records. Red Leader’s also gonna be re-releasing Polar Bear Club’s phenomenal 2006 EP, The Redder, The Better, so if you didn’t pick it up beforehand now’s your chance.

I remember seeing this band over a year ago in Brooklyn, and even without knowing a single word to their songs, they absolutely blew me away that night with a passion, a fury, and a ton of “whoa oh”’s that you don’t see alot in hardcore these days.

PBC are gonna be on tour all over New York, Pennsylvania, and a short jaunt into Ohio soon, starting July 28th. Click below to check ‘em out when they come near you. You won’t regret it, trust me.
