1. Polaris is an Australian metalcore band. The band consists of vocalist Jamie Hails, guitarist Rick Schneider, bassist Jake Steinhauser and drummer Daniel Furnari.

On 14 November 2019 Polaris announced their second full length titled The Death of Me, released on 21 February 2020 through Resist/SharpTone records subsequently earning their second ARIA Award nomination.
Early career (2012–2013)
Polaris was formed in 2012 by drummer Daniel Furnari and Jake Steinhauser on guitar after meeting at their high school battle of the bands, quickly discovering a mutual love for metal and alternative music. The two then recruited guitarist Rick Schneider and vocalist Jamie Hails through mutual friends and word of mouth. Matt Steinhauser, Jake's brother, was brought on board to handle bass duties and completed the line-up with James West on synth/keys. The group began working on music together writing and recording their first single "Summit" and the majority of the Dichotomy EP in early 2012. In late 2012, Polaris announced the departure of both Matt Steinhauser and West. Guitarist Jake then switched onto bass to focus on his singing, as the band was pushing towards a more progressive sound.
The band began looking for a new guitarist, holding public auditions. On 18 November 2013, the band announced Ryan Siew as their new guitarist, who was 15 years old at the time. Shortly after joining the 'Dichotomy' EP was released on 29 November 2013 independently.
The Guilt & The Grief (2014–2016)
On 3 March 2015, the single "Unfamiliar" was released; it was the first track to feature Siew as lead guitarist. Polaris continued to write and finished an additional 5 tracks to complete their second EP titled The Guilt & The Grief. The EP was recorded with Sonny True Love and Evan Lee at STL studios on the North Coast of NSW, and it was mixed by Carson Slovak and Grant McFarland of Atrium Audio in Pennsylvania, USA. The Guilt & The Grief was released independently by the band on 29 January 2016 and landed at #34 on the ARIA charts.
The Mortal Coil (2017-2018)
On 3 November 2017, Polaris released their first studio album The Mortal Coil through Resist Records and Sharptone Records. The album was nominated for the 2018 ARIA Award for Best Hard Rock or Heavy Metal Album as well as for the Australian Album of the Year award at the J Awards.
The Death of Me (2019-2020)
On 21 February 2020, Polaris released their second studio album The Death of Me, also through Resist Records and Sharptone Records. The album has been nominated for the 2020 ARIA Award for Best Hard Rock or Heavy Metal Album. Sadly, longstanding guitarist Ryan Siew would pass away in June 2023.
2. Polaris was a one-off musical project in the mid-1990s involving members of the New Haven indie rock band Miracle Legion
Mark Mulcahy, Spot "Scott" Boutier, and Dave McCaffrey performed music for the Nickelodeon television show The Adventures of Pete & Pete under the name Polaris because a fourth Miracle Legion member was not available at the time; occasional guests included Joyce Raskin, Dennis Kelly, and Buell Thomas.
Polaris performed many of the songs featured on the show, including the theme song, "Hey Sandy", and its members took "TV names": Mulcahy was "Muggy", Boutier was "Jersey", and McCaffrey was "Harris Polaris." In addition to appearing in the opening credits of each show, the band featured prominently in the episode "A Hard Day's Pete", in which Little Pete (Danny Tamberelli) is mesmerized by a garage band's song (Polaris' "Summerbaby") and forms his own band to keep the tune in his memory.
Music from The Adventures of Pete & Pete, released in 1999 on Mulcahy's Mezzotint label, contains many of the songs Polaris recorded for the show and is the group's only album release.

Polaris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Recently,
Recently,
Recently,
I acted cool, I asked around,
But you could not be seen,
I was desperate, indifferent
You walked in, I clicked on,
You could not refuse,
It has to be that we know it now,
So get the rocket, light the fuse,
'Cause recently I kissed you,
It's like a dream come true,
Recently you're liking me,
And I'm really liking you.
Never apart, we go around
Siamese, in crazy love,
I learned your quirks&clawed your world,
What did I do before you?
Because recently I needed to be
With you all the time,
And recently some jealousy
Has creeped into my mind.
Recently I managed
That it's good to be alone,
And recently my friends,
They never call me anymore.
Recently I'm happier
Being by myself,
Recently I'm all alone,
But I'm not lonely, recently
I'm not lonely, recently
I'm not lonely, recently
I'm not lonely, recently
I'm not lonely, recently
The song "Recently" by Polaris is about a relationship that has grown stronger recently. At the beginning of the song, the singer narrates how he acted cool and asked around in search of the person he is in love with. However, he failed to locate them before they walked in, and they got together. The singer's tone signifies the beginning of a journey of love, which he refers to as a dream come true.
In the second verse, the singer narrates how they are always together and in love. He learned the quirks of his lover and how to fit into their world. He cannot even imagine life before his lover came into his life. However, things start to change when the singer gets jealous of his lover. The sudden feeling of jealousy is a new thing for him and has never happened before.
The outro of the song is about how the singer is not lonely, although he is alone. He enjoys his own company and has learned to be happy by himself. The song's meaning is about the ups and downs of love and how it affects us on a personal level. The singer takes us through the emotions of love, from the excitement of meeting someone new to the lows of jealousy.
