Poliça Announces No More Touring in 2020

Minneapolis based synth pop band Poliça have announced that they will cease all touring for the rest of 2020. The band made the announcement through a post on their Instagram account, and expressed both their sorrow and their gratitude for all of their fans.

The band also made sure to include some good news in their announcement, also stating that they will be releasing two new songs this coming Friday, titled “Tricky Lovers” and “Coming Down”. The songs will be available on Bandcamp.

Poliça had already postponed their 2020 US spring tour dates by the middle of March, and was supposed to make an appearance at Rock The Garden in June at the band’s hometown of Minneapolis before the coronavirus shut down the live music world.

The band most recently released a video for their song “Steady,” from the band’s most recent album When We Stay Alive, released in January of 2020. The album was the band’s fifth since their debut album released in 2012, and was described by Mxdwn’s  as, “a standout from start to finish. No matter the time in between, the band always seems to find their way right back into the center of every listener’s hearts.”

Drew Feinerman: I have just completed my senior at the University of Michigan majoring in international studies with an emphasis in political economics and development, with a minor in Chinese language and culture, and I have recently been accepted into the Berklee School of Music's masters of music business program. Although my academic interests include economics, political science, and history, I consider music to be my one true passion. Music is, and has always been, a driving force for the way I think and act every day of my life. I have been playing the tenor saxophone since the age of ten, and playing an instrument at a high level has allowed me to only further my understanding and appreciation for music. While I grew up listening to predominantly classic rock, I soon found myself gravitating toward jazz, hip-hop, funk, and other genres, as my learned to both play and analyze music as a listener. As a writer, I am able to apply my skills both as a musician and a listener, and look forward to the opportunity to being able to express my thoughts on various stories in the music industry.
