At the crossroads of grief and exhilarating sonic potency, Sydney’s Polaris return today with their first instalment of new music in three years, unleashing their brand new single Without You via ADA in AU/NZ and SharpTone Records for the remainder of the world.
Born from unimaginable pain following the loss of their bandmate and brother Ryan Siew in 2023, Without You channels their love, hurt and heartbreak into an indelible end result. The track coalesces caustic vocals, crushing beats and torrid riffs set against soaring melodic choruses, a heart wrenching guitar solo and a ferocious breakdown outro that rivals Polaris’ heaviest moments to date. Hauntingly poignant, its lyrics show the band in their most brutally vulnerable state.
“Never did we imagine that we would one day have reason to write this song. But three years on, we find ourselves still making sense of this immeasurable tragedy, and what it has meant to be left in the wake. This is the sound of crushing loss, shock, grief and heartache, and the beginning of us learning how to share that with the world.” – Polaris
A few short weeks from now, Polaris will join I Prevail in the UK and Europe throughout September-October, before returning to Australian stages this December as part of Good Things Festival, performing alongside Limp Bizkit, Simple Plan, Spiritbox, The All-American Rejects and many more. During their limited time off the road this year, Polaris have certainly not been standing idly by, spending time away from the stage in the studio for an uncharted new chapter. Against all odds, Without You signifies their first steps forward today.
