Excerpt:
It is generally a fact that you can find yourself listening to phrases of music over and over again when recording or writing music. This weekend I had the special opportunity to do [...]

Polarity/1, the multi-genre artist best known for bold, honest, hard-hitting songs, is re-releasing his hit album, Yankin’ the Food Chain, now with re-mastered tracks.
