polarOPPOSITEbear is a new-wave post-punk band based out of Wichita, KS. Comprised of 4 passionate and eclectic musicians fronted by former Ricky Fitts lead axe man and vocalist Matt Wiseman, POB is a bright green light shining in the darkest room. With allusions to Joy Division and Gang Of Four. POB is an introspective, dark and danceable experience. Heavier than Interpol and more honest than most, a band that is approachable and unpretentious, but still dark and sincere. Their "get in the van let’s do this" attitude, shows that their hard work and ambition will make many take notice and dance.
-Troy Wells (Naked City Magazine Music Editor)
polarOPPOSITEbear was up next and the room was packed for them. These are some fantastic guysl, and they ALWAYS put on a slammin show. Lots of energy, lots of fun, lots of everything that music should be. The rain could not stop this party from continuing full throttle, and pOb helped keep it going. They are such a positive influence on the music scene in Wichita and I love them all so much!
-Mo (Owner of the "Vertical Violet" House)
