Polarizer is a Chicago born-and-bred band going into it’s 15th year, politely terrorizing the stages of Chicagoland and beyond with a style of punch-your-face-then-kiss-your-forehead rock. The band has grown up together through these years, playing everything from dark and dingy little rock clubs to sold out shows on some of Chicagoland’s biggest stages.
With two full-length studio albums and two EPs to their name, Polarizer is most known for their epic original music and electric live performances. Self branded as “loud, spacey, epic, rock”, the band continues to hone in on its dynamic sound with a combination of intricate, melodic verses and soaring choruses, brought together with cerebral lyrical themes.
While an original band through and through, the group has a chameleon streak, taking on tribute acts on an annual basis to push themselves to new musical boundaries (Elvis, Michael Jackson, Beastie Boys, The Beatles) while also nodding to first and second degree influences (Rush, Queen, U2, The Who). Polarizer also has dedicated, eclectic cover sets that can fit with any bill at any location.
Currently, the band is working on its third full-length album, a 14 song epic to be released in full in 2026. Singles and EPs will be released along the way to stay connected with fans and venues looking to get a sense of the band’s current sound and direction.
