The Waiting Room - Polar Bear Club

[@whatyouwere]

God I miss Polar Bear Club. I saw them only once in South Carolina and the show fucking rocked.

[@walmars3curity]

I cant believe this is 10 years old.... I still rock this in my car after work on Fridays and it makes me so happy

[@twentysevenwithnecktats2313]

Hell yeah me too

[@Jaymz87]

Same!

[@mitchellkidd7761]

Yes indeed 👍🏼

[@NigelGrab]

convinced i'm wrong is a fucking magnificent piece of music.

[@themzbonez14]

I listened to these guys all throughout my procrastinating years of college

[@camelkings7214]

Currently procrastinating in college

[@themzbonez14]

@@camelkings7214 Idk why but these tracks seem appropriate for the struggling college student

[@DanceStevenDance1]

this band deserves everything and more. they are so talented and creative.

[@tomguardino6262]

This is a type of band where even if you don't like their studio stuff, you still love their live show. So sick

[@_guyfieri]

love the sound guy rocking out in the back at 3:18

[@Delexis7]

i love the guy in the other room headbanging xD

[@quinnpech9214]

Fuck I love this band. Was so happy I got to see them once back in the day.

[@Xellot]

I saw these guys play with The Flatliners last night, and they fucking killed it. One of the best opening acts I've seen in a long time, enough to actually get me to take interest in them. I've never seen a singer sing his heart out like this guy.

[@weirdstring]

Love his voice and the sound overall. I ignored this band for so long I'm glad I gave them the chance cause I was missing out on such good music!

[@davesguitarworld2296]

One of the best bands in the world! Damn I miss this!

[@agenericbot]

CONVINCED I'M WRONG. GOOSEBUMPS ALWAYS.

[@kriszpaul]

omg, the guy who mixed this deserves a medal!

[@kennethdaumen6015]

PBC is amazing. The live shows are off the hook.

[@Jaymz87]

Is anyone gonna talk about them string tones ? Jesus how pleasing to the ears especially at the start of "convinced I'm wrong" Sam Pura had the yard stick out!!

[@DanielGarica2120]

Seeing this band live is one of the best experiences. Their love for what they do is so apparent.

[@stephenXrules]

Most underrated band in all of music right now. One of the best live bands I've ever seen. Probably my favorite band.. haha

[@dhimazaditya]

0:18 Bottled Wind 4:10 Convinced Im Wrong

[@Xellot]

I saw them at The Opera House in Toronto. It's a really cozy venue that fits around 500-1000 people I'd say, and supports a lot of local bands. One of the best shows I've seen in a long, long time. It was The Flatliners headlining, with The Menzingers, Polar Bear Club, and some other band I forget opening. Just a wicked fucking night, haha.

[@DerekGnarGnar]

Polar Bear Club has openly cited Third Eye Blind as a huge influence on their sound. You can definitely hear it.

[@DylanHarrisMU]

I couldn't imagine it would be too hard - simply because the original takes would be phenomenal. People underrate PBC because the music sounds simple, but getting the kind of tones that these guys do is in art in itself. Kudos to the producer who mixed it but even more so to the band who fucking nailed it.

[@davebasile3761]

all the best bands are underated

[@viesca91]

Saw 'em live once in Austin, Tx... Now I'm gonna have to watch 'em EVERY TIME the come through Texas..

[@BiiiC]

I agree, that's a spot on mix. These guys are amazing from CD to live, to everything. SUPPORT.

[@numbersguy8737]

Cant believe this was 9 years ago :(

[@YourLittleAmpersand]

Polar Bear Club is so good. Makes me kind of proud to be from Rochester, NY.

[@numbersguy8737]

This is what kept Pop Punk alive.

[@imHXCw00t]

Convinced I'm wrong is probably one of the best songs ever written. I mean, I know music is suggestive, but seriously...it is perfect.

[@FreddyFunderbunz]

Damn. That was so good

[@xScreamToRisex]

epic recording is epic.

[@lucasMcarter89]

i had the exact same thought. holy hell the tones are perfect. 421's make life sound so good.

[@HelstNYC]

I remember seeing these guys in high school, in Syracuse, NY. A true local band if I've ever seen one.

[@ChiefSpooshme]

So glad this guy found his voice, the last 3 albums were good not great. This shit is amazing.

[@theseblueclouds]

I think his voice is great. it's different. This band is perfect.

[@xScreamToRisex]

bottled wind is one of the greatest songs ever written to me...

[@icpman15]

First rule of Polar Bear Club, YOU TALK ABOUT POLAR BEAR CLUB!

[@jerbear97]

i heard they're disbanded

[@tylertoppin8068]

@@jerbear97 yea they are they have been for awhile now. They fuckin sucked anyway

[@jb111082]

They started the night off in Coloumbus OH as well. And I have to agree with you, his energy is insane!!

[@wordup44vids]

unbelievable, naturally raw and powerful.

[@superbang1n]

Seeing them Friday for the second time this year, fuck yeah.

[@Stuhrify]

this sound so good it could be an album version

[@CynicalEmma]

Pure talent :) PBC is now one of my favorite bands.

[@ChiefSpooshme]

Seriously good. Best album that I've heard since the early release of "The Unraveling".

[@yourjokesaretotallyfromthe8909]

Jimmy look like you ex high schooler friends that are dorky and eat at the cafeteria alone. Turned up to be a rockstar and quite good looking. Such a nice guy btw.

[@ursaminor3057]

Fuck. So. Good. Thank you PBC and the guy who mixed all of this.

[@TheSuburbiaRuins]

Major props for the Lemuria shirt.

[@ageone32]

Vocal sounds like Tim McIlrath. The band is so good!!!

[@Virchov]

WUUUUUUUUUU!!! YEAH!!! I love this band so much!

[@JackStolz]

Live he has a Milo from The Descendents vibe to his vocals. Love it,

[@SlenderKS]

wow was nice to listen to it

[@daynaranconcerto4419]

warped long island today.. these guys were awesome

[@Jaymz87]

My god the mix is delicious even if it's mono in bottled wind

[@findanewgoddd]

the very last note is the intro to every "waiting room" ever.

[@schaefer3114]

I fucking LOVE this session!

[@boatsNbitches]

holy shnikes i like this band

[@jerbear97]

this band *rips*

[@slowkidd]

This is great. I'd love to see The American Scene on here performing "Why I'm not Where You Are". Any chance of that happening anytime soon?

[@christophertamez7474]

Ahh...before the vocal change...they used to sound so great.

[@mklschwrtz2]

I think they still sound great. You can't expect a man to keep that voice up for long, it really takes it toll on the vocal chords. I do like the old vocals a bit more, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with how he sings nowadays :)

[@mklschwrtz2]

Anet McClintock Well that I can agree on. But their take on the pop punk thing aint too bad though.

[@noahnightlife]

can't stand that he changed how he sings, though I understand why he would have to, but thatvisbwhat made PBC so amazing. listening now literally depresses me

[@laMochaface]

amazing, simply amazinh. :) PBC

[@chrisowens1363]

props on the climbing gear.

[@Represent613]

yup im aware that they played that tour, i went to the ottawa date. What you said is actually completely wrong hahaha. The crowd cared for all the bands except maybe into it over it. I'm also going to warped tour in Montreal this summer..

[@ChiefSpooshme]

So... goddamn.. good...

God this is insane

the last chord of Convinced that they play is the same as the first chord with the Panda Studios logo O:

[@Daveownzz]

Where'd you see them? I saw them at L3 in St. Catherines...Best lineup for bands I've ever seen. Such a killer show! :D

[@EnterShikari07]

have to agree. first i heard them was supporting rise against a few years back in scotland

[@cancerbaddylangood]

the waiting room needs more videos

[@XCallXMeXmatt]

3:23 the fucking producer was rocking out so hard hahahaha that's what's up!

I am a patient boy, I'll wait I'll wait I'll wait I'll wait! When are the polar bear club going to cover fugazi???

[@TheStereotypeMan]

It sounds a little bit like McIlrath from his earlier stuff like Revolutions per minute and The Unraveling

You can download these 2 song free straight from The Panda Studios website i just found out for any wanting them btw! :) Saw them Brisbane Soundwave! was awesome!!! only wish they had turned his vocals up a bit! Otherwise kick ass band so much energy!

[@jsh020]

They are one of the most well known up and coming bands right now, what more do you want?

[@BillyBackpack]

makes sense

[@xXdeftonevtXx]

at 3:20 you can see the guy through the window rocking the fuck out haha

anyone else think the singer kinda sounds like the dude from rise against?

[@zdf14]

+Nick Pedersen When he gets into the higher registers, yes.

[@michaelspoto8720]

you mean the dude from rise against sounds like him.

[@edmundblackadder2741]

Nick Pedersen oh my god yes!!! But in his own kinda way too

[@HunnterMerrittt]

@Represent613 They're not "fucking huge" because they choose not to be. Polar Bear Club might be one of the best alternate/punk bands out there. They have major talent and I highly reccommend seeing them live. they sound just this good.

what shirt is the drummer wearin... dig them threads

Also, Sam was rocking out @3:20.
