Polarnecks/Grand Pricks – Polarpricks [GoldMold]

Polarnecks/Grand Pricks – Polarpricks [GoldMold]

Split records seem to have sadly become a thing of the past, but when one does come along, it is a welcome throwback to a time when bands seemed to share a sense of community and it felt as though they actually got on. With this in mind, the collaboration from two excellent Glasgow trios, Polarnecks and Grand Pricks makes for excellent listening. We’ll start with Grand Pricks (as this is the side…

GoldMold presents The Sinking Feeling, Polarnecks, FRAUEN, Grand Pricks at Bloc, 12/1/17

GoldMold presents The Sinking Feeling, Polarnecks, FRAUEN, Grand Pricks at Bloc, 12/1/17

Every month, Glasgow based label and steadily growing titan of Scottish music GoldMold put on a gig at Bloc, these gigs are as free and they are good – extremely. I love Bloc and it is a perfect venue for these gigs, but with groups being turned away at the door because it is so busy, a gig with as stellar and intense a line up as this may require a bigger dance hall. The dance-floor is packed…

Video Premiere: Polarnecks - Peace of Mind

Video Premiere: Polarnecks – Peace of Mind

Over the last year or so Polarnecks’ dark, emotive sound has evolved into something mature and captivating. Their latest release, ‘Peace of Mind’ taken from this year’s Scary Things EP, sees the band at possibly their most upbeat and it’s our pleasure to premiere the new video, which reflects this vibe has a video.

Polarnecks – Scary Things [Gold Mold]

Polarnecks – Scary Things [Gold Mold]

Scary Things is the latest EP from Glasgow-based trio Polarnecks; a record which maintains the band’s dark, emotive sound while displaying a new maturity in their output. ‘Miles Away’ kicks off with a menacing intro to an ominous rock and roll tune; there are hints of Placebo at times, strong 80s influences at others and a sombre atmosphere underpins the track throughout. Soon, it is the stylish…

PAWS, Polarnecks at The Poetry Club

PAWS, Polarnecks at The Poetry Club

Fresh from being nominated for the Scottish Album of the Year Award, Glasgow based trio PAWS play a sold out show in The Poetry Club.

Support for the evening comes from Polarnecks; it’s a very lively set from the Glasgow based alt/punk rock band, with emotive lyrics, rasping guitars and a drummer that makes you dizzy just watching him, they really set the tone for the rest of the evening.

Suitabl…

Dec '91, Polarnecks, Jason Riddell at Bloc, 21/10/14

Dec ’91, Polarnecks, Jason Riddell at Bloc, 21/10/14

First up, Jason Riddell starts his set without his bassist making the crowd laugh, as they appear halfway through the first song.

Riddell’s voice is soulful and passionate, echoing through the already busy venue, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the crowd relaxed, as they tap their feet along.

Riddell’s style is reminiscent of a Scottish City & Colour offering lyrics just as heartfelt and…

Polarnecks – Never Heard of Sports

Polarnecks – Never Heard of Sports

Polarnecks’ self-released EP Never Heard of Sports marks the arrival of a distinctive sound, blending strong musicianship with thought-provokingly song-writing.

Opening track ‘Clouds’ is an aptly named outpouring of lyrical self-deprecation, with lack of drums and echoing quality to vocals ensuring a light, laid-back feel.

But the song merely acts as a false sense of security, within seconds of…
