The success of the band's prior releases provided for an unrivalled touring schedule. Having toured with the likes of Young Guns, While She Sleeps, Defeater and Funeral For A Friend amongst many others, Polar's live show has proven to be a force to reckoned with.
In May 2013, the band released their 2nd EP, 'Inspire Create Destroy' digitally through Oli Sykes' (Bring Me The Horizon) clothing label, Drop Dead. Having caught IATDE Records attention with this EP and the bands continued relentless tour, IATDE Records snapped the guys up. IATDE Records will be releasing a 7" vinyl version of this EP which is aimed for Late August 2013, this will be followed up in February 2014 by the bands 2nd full length album that is currently being written and will see the band build on their sound from their previous EP.
Big beats. Strong booze. Loose morals. Good times.

Devil′s grip hold, wearing my skin
They're wearing my skin, I′ve let them in
As the night takes hold, I'm forced to let it begin
Your razor wire tongue leaves me paralysed
Cold sweat erodes my burning eyes
Your bleached claws crawl, crawl over me
Midnight runs through me
Are you with me? The night will only tear us apart
So put your arms around me, I'll follow you into the dark
I′ll follow you into the dark, I′ll follow you into the dark
We are now as one, the final act has begun
Devil's all surround, wearing my skin
They′re wearing my skin, I've let them in
As the night takes hold, I′m forced to let it begin, go
Midnight, let it begin
Midnight, let it begin
Are you with me? The night will only tear us apart
So put your arms around me, I'll follow you into the dark
I′ll follow you into the dark, I'll follow you into the dark
I'm sorry to myself and all those around
As the clock spins right from cradle to ground
These scars won′t fade, I bare all to see
I′ll never lift this curse you've left on me
You′ve left on me
You've left on me
Midnight, let it begin
Midnight, let it begin
Are you with me? The night will only tear us apart
So put your arms around me, I′ll follow you into the dark
I'll follow you into the dark, I′ll follow you into the dark
I'll follow you into the dark, I'll follow you into the dark
The song "Midnight" by Polar. is a haunting and introspective exploration of a tumultuous internal struggle. The lyrics suggest that the singer has locked away some dark part of themselves, but it is starting to break free. The imagery of the devil's grip and the idea of others wearing their skin imply a loss of control over one's own identity. The singer is paralyzed by the razor wire tongue and bleached claws of this dark force.
Despite the fear and uncertainty, there is a sense of surrender and acceptance in the chorus. The singer acknowledges that the night will tear them apart, but they are willing to follow their dark guide into the unknown. The repetition of "I'll follow you into the dark" suggests a willingness to embrace the darkness, to give in to it rather than fighting against it.
The final verse reveals a sense of regret and resignation. The singer apologizes to themselves and those around them for the scars and curse that have been left on them. They seem to recognize that they can never fully escape the darkness that has taken hold of them.
Overall, "Midnight" is a powerful exploration of the struggle between light and darkness within oneself. The lyrics suggest that sometimes the only way to find peace is to accept and follow the darker parts of ourselves, even if it means sacrificing control and giving in to a greater force.
