Keyboardist/songwriter Eric Stang and drummer Mario Cerutti first met back in 2006 in the practice rooms of DePaul University’s Music School in Chicago where they studied jazz and classical percussion. Since the launch of Polarcode in 2010, the now Los Angeles based duo have played their unique brand of indie/alt pop across the country.  Every song is its own experience, featuring different vocalists over vibrant, intricate production.

Their 2013 EP Supernatural received accolades for its poignant and powerful songs. The EP’s songs were featured in several placements including E! News, TNT NCAA March Madness and Victoria Secret Pink. The 2015 ballad “Nowhere Fast (feat. Lauren Ruth Ward) was used in the Disney Channel Original “The Swap”.
With close to 200,000 views on YouTube, the minimalist, stunning black and white music video for “I Crave You (feat. Lauren Ruth Ward)” has been grabbing people’s attention around the world. 

Polarcode’s recent releases include “Cut You Loose” and “Devices” featuring Taylor John Williams, a finalist from Season 7 of NBC’s “The Voice”. IMPOSE magazine stated: “Polarcode and Williams have proven themselves as something of a collaborating power duo.” Cut You Loose has received rave reviews in several publications:

High Voltage Magazine: “There’s also the pop funk feel that you can’t help but shake a body part or two to”

IMPOSE Magazine: Cut You Loose “is nothing but catchy” and “this song is star studded and too much fun”. 

Polarcode’s new release is "Ponce De León (feat. Soren Bryce)". Polarcode blends Soren’s hypnotic voice with minimalist but lush instrumentation that gives the song a dreamy and cinematic quality.

“Big drums…atmospheric music that will remind some of U2.”
– Kevin Williams, Chicago Tribune

“Polarcode are such talented musicians that it all sounds good no matter what.” 
- High Voltage Magazine

“A far cry from your typical rock set, these daring and innovative musicians want you walking away having experienced a musical spectacle of epic proportions.”
- Greg Dorn, Lumino Magazine
