Currently recording their debut EP, the pBp is missing no opportunity to bring their act to stages on the local and regional level, putting on high-energy shows at several venerable St. Louis clubs. Two self-released singles, “Procrastination Way” and “Cracked the Code,” have earned the Polar Bear Project their reputation as “dreamy, Death Cab for Cutie-esque rockers”(Annie Zaleski, music ed. - RFT), and provided some momentum for the band. Both recordings have been featured on local, national, and international radio feeds, including spins on 101.1FM The River’s Homegrown Show in St. Louis.



Fronted by the well-balanced melodies of vocalist / bass guitarist Jason Hodge and vocalist Susan Muth, along with guitarist Mike Braeuninger and Ted Spies (keys / synths / programming / vocals), the Polar Bear Project serves up a “chilling flow of guitars and keys, and digital groove”(Pascal Gregory, ed. - IOMM) – creating unrelenting melodic hooks and leaving pleasant daydreams for the populace.
