Episode 366: Polar

Woody and Fabian from Polar come in for an information filled podcast today. We start talking about the impact that the past few years have had on the band and other bands in the scene, including how Brexit has made it harder for British bands to tour, and how the pandemic and greed have made touring and live music much less of a fruitful venture. We also discuss the band's new album, Everywhere Everything, and its themes around the pandemic surrounding both mental health and the importance of the human connection.   Find Polar Online: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/polaruk Twitter: https://twitter.com/PolarUK Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/polaruk/ Tik Tok:https://www.tiktok.com/@polaruk YouTube: https://youtu.be/wbMkKxgKqZs Website: https://www.polaruk.co Merch: https://www.polaruk.co/#shopify-section-165452488300325482 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/6eby39yemH7FjGVwJID1Tw?si=qDo-z62GQvK2v6i1kz0How Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/polar/6668657   Thank you to our Sponsor FNX Fitness: Get 20% Off Using Promo Code: CPP20 https://fnx.grsm.io/cpp   Follow us on social media!   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chordprogressionpodcast   Twitter: https://twitter.com/cppodofficial   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chordprogressionpodcast/   Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@chordprogressionpodcast   YouTube: https://youtube.com/channel/UCqRKZCDMcFHIYbJaLQMfDbQ   Chord Progression Podcast (Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/53XWPGrIUvgavKF5Fm6SLk   Chord Progression Podcast (Apple Podcast): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chord-progression/id1454876657   Chord Progression Podcast (Amazon): https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/b8dad803-444c-4a73-8aa5-67b4fc43f4ba   Chord Progression Podcast (iHeart Radio): https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-chord-progression-70632531/   Podcast Webpage: https://mysongoftheday.com/my-song-of-the-day-rock-2000-today/chord-progression-podcast/   Intro: (0:00) Welcome Polar with some Festival Announcements: (3:50) Overcoming Touring Obstacles, Brexit Specific: (7:53) More Issues around Greed, Merch Cuts, Thin Margins: (25:00) Accepting Change in the World Post-Covid: (36:00) Connecting Everywhere, Everything to Pandemic Uncertainty: (39:58) The Album's Focus on Human Connection: (50:45) How Polar Sees 2023 as Their Time Coming: (1:08:30) Talking About Mental Health in the Music Industry: (1:16:21) Kevin's Top Moment on Everywhere, Everything: (1:20:22) Keeping Up with Polar: (1:25:21) Closing It Out: (1:29:26)
