Thank you for your interest in the 21st Annual Long Beach Polar Bear Super Bowl Splash! This year's event is going to look a little different, so please read the announcement below.
Over the years, the Splash has become a tradition many people look forward to every winter, and we truly appreciate your continued love and enthusiastic support! In an effort to keep everyone as safe as possible, we will be hosting our event 'virtually' this year instead of in person on Super Bowl Sunday. We're asking participants to 'splash' on their own from January 7th - February 7th, 2021 in support of Make-A-Wish Metro NY. For more details, please see the JOIN US page on this site.
Sweatshirts and other apparel for the 2021 Splash are available now to purchase in person at E. Van Creations (Saturdays only!) or online for either pickup or shipping. Be sure to get your gear early as there will be no merchandise sales on the boardwalk at any point!
Volunteers will be available every Saturday throughout January and February at E. Van Creations, and online ordering will be available until Sunday, March 7th.
While we may not be able to take the plunge together this year, we can still do our part to help grant as many wishes as possible.

Polar Bear Club was an American post-hardcore band from Rochester and Syracuse in upstate New York. Formed in 2005, the band underwent multiple line-up changes. Vocalist Jimmy Stadt and lead guitarist Chris Browne oversaw each iteration of the band. The band released four studio albums and toured internationally before entering a permanent hiatus period in 2015.

History[edit]

Formation (2005)[edit]

Polar Bear Club formed in summer 2005 with its members coming from a variety of upstate New York-based hardcore punk and indie rock bands. Their influences were said to include Small Brown Bike, Third Eye Blind, Silent Majority, Hot Water Music, Jimmy Eat World, The Weakerthans and Lifetime. The band's name comes from a song of the same name by Silent Majority.

Quickly after forming they released a five-song demoCD-R, which has since gone out of print.

Signing (2006–2007)[edit]

Shortly after the release of their well received demo EP, they were noticed by Triple Attack Records, who released their first EP, The Redder, the Better, in May 2006 in conjunction with Luchador Records. The EP received rave reviews by webzines and made a number of year-end 'best of' lists, topping the list on Australian radio Triple R's Bullying The Jukebox program. The succuess also garnered the band enough notice for Red Leader Records to sign them in July 2007. This EP is now out of print on CD,^[1] but has since been made available for digital download^[2] and on 12' vinyl.^[3]

Debut album and Bridge 9 (2008–2009)[edit]

The band's debut album, Sometimes Things Just Disappear, was released in March 2008, also receiving glowing reviews from an even wider number of webzines and great reception from their rapidly growing fanbase. More appearances in 'best of' lists followed, as well as tours with The Gaslight Anthem, American Steel, Crime in Stereo, A Wilhelm Scream and Cancer Bats, leading to the band's signing to Bridge Nine Records, officially announced on January 8, 2009.^[4] Label owner Chris Wrenn said the following in regards to the bands signing:

We couldn't be more excited to add Polar Bear Club to the family. This was one of the best and easiest decisions we've made and it's a great way to start off 2009. Not only are they an incredible band, but they know who they are and what they want to be—and they fit in perfect perfectly with the way B9 is growing.

The label at the same time announced they would issue Sometimes Things Just Disappear on vinyl sometime during spring. On March 19 the vinyl was made available for pre-order, with a shipping start date set for March 24,^[5] even though its official release date was April 7.^[6]
