Apparently last week someone cold-called Resist Records - not an office or a team of corporate execs, but a literal brick & mortar punk record store in Syd - & said “I’ve heard Polaris are looking for a new guitarist?”
Can’t believe we have to say this, but… don’t do this. Ever
True fans know that getting a notification telling you Polaris has dropped a new single only to open Spotify and hear some European techno or South American folk music is just a regular bi-monthly part of the experience
This is abhorrent. To anyone who behaves like this: Do not come to our shows. Do not wear our merch. You are not welcome where we play and we don’t want you in our community. If you can’t treat people who are different to yourself with love and respect - (1/)
Our third album FATALISM will be out September 1 via Resist Records & Sharptone Records.

For the last week, we’ve had the honour of holding the
#1
charting album in our home country. Today we learned that we still have the
#1
album by an Australian artist for another week. For a little metalcore band from the suburbs of Sydney, this was once unthinkable.
You probably already know this, but incredible records by

A surprise? No.

hung with polaris last night. kissed currents. saw paledusk for the first time since we played Tokyo in 2019. love this community very much… maybe we’ll rip some gigs with some friends soon hmm
Please join us in wishing our fast talking, hard hitting, groove doctor Daniel Furnari a very happy birthday!
If you’re a fan of our band, chances are you’ve connected with something he’s written, so show your appreciation by letting him know which of his drum faces is your fave.
Today is the birthday of our most favourite frontman; a man with both the hair and heart of a lion; a wild, majestic and cuddly creature who has never met a chicken wing he didn’t love. We love you Jamie Hails! 🐓

(2/) - then sit yourself down and rethink yourself. On Mardi Gras weekend of all times, this is incredibly disappointing. We have nothing but love for the queer community and we know (or at least hope) that the majority of our fans stand with us. This does not represent us.
Our own Jamie just crushed the Oli Sykes part in ‘Silence Speaks’ with

live in Tilburg. What an absolute weapon. Jamie fucking Hails everybody ✊

Hello America we are now inside the big metal bird en route to your country. We each have a whole row to ourselves so if that’s any indication, this tour is gonna be sick as fuck. See you soon ✈️🇺🇸
They’ve toured together. They’ve grown up together. In 2020 they matched up for the title of Twitter’s album of the year.
Today… It’s September’s winner Polaris’ “Fatalism” vs. May’s runner up Currents’ “The Death We Seek”
Who is playing for Twitter’s AOTY of 2023 on Thursday?
“This fuckin’ guy is singin’, I can hear it all the way down here...”
This video has absolutely sent us. Thank you to jogger/singer/hero Jason Vochal for spreading our music all over Tempe, AZ by any means necessary.
Apologies to Pigeon Lady.

(4/) ..a timely reminder that there’s still a lot of growing to be done & a reminder of why events like Syd Mardi Gras are so important.
Wear your colours, wear your glitter and don’t let anyone take this weekend from you. Wishing you all a safe and happy mardi gras 🏳️🌈
Dan got a once-in-a-lifetime chance to jam with
@mikeshinoda
on both a new track and a Linkin Park staple.. and it turns out Mike is down with the Sydney metalcore.
Life is crazy 🤯
Full video at the link below 🎥
Much love to Mike and all involved 🖤
A few weeks ago I received a message that made my jaw hit the floor… an invitation to collaborate with the one and only Mike Shinoda from Linkin Park, an all-time musical hero of mine (and probably yours too) alongside a handful of super talented and lovely musicians & friends…
Fatalism has been shortlisted for the 2023 Australian Music Prize. Thank you to all on the nominating panel for listing us among such incredible creatives, for a band from our scene this is an especially unexpected honour 🖤
