Polarboy

Just four short years ago three of the band members where at Lexington Bible college in Kentucky studying to become youth pastors, Pol Buckingham (vocals/ guitars), Joe Nawrocki (lead guitars), and Rob Wilson (bass) started a little praise band for the college, and played various college functions. Polarboy was born and it wasnt long until the guys were writing their own music and playing their own songs. After meeting drummer Matt Loftis, and playing some independent venues, as well as completing a demo, Polarboy had become something more than a praise and worship band. Although from different cities and with different personalities, the guys knew that they were brought together for a divine purpose: To play music that reflects life for Christians as well as non-Christians, music that aims to knock down the barriers between what is labeled Christian and secular music. Polarboy wants to create music that people will want to listen to whether Christian or non-Christian. Polarboy is the kind of band that doesnt need a set list for success onstage or in life. Collectively, they enjoy "just hanging out together," according to Wilson. He adds that the bands friendship and love for playing music together is the key in keeping life on the road and ministry from becoming ritualistic. " I play and I write from the heart, and my own experiences." Pol says. "I am not trying to cubbyhole Polarboy into the Christian category of Christian music, but I do depend on Christ as my inspiration. I just want to write music that is relevant, reflective, and on the deepest level, I want to offer the hope of Christ." Buckingham continues.
