Brothers Cam and Cole Tessier, who perform as Polydrive, first hit our radar near the end of last year through their lively track Favorite Band. Now they’re back with an altogether more intimate one. It’s called Have To Make This Call.

Have To Make This Call pairs an acoustic guitar arrangement with isolated, emotional vocals in the verse. There’s power in its simplicity which really draws you in, preparing you for a soaring, climactic chorus where the boys’ vocal harmonies hit the heart hard.

Influenced by the likes of Phil Collins, Blink-182 and Frank Ocean, Polydrive are making pop that’s perfect for this age, and really brings something new to the genre. You can check out Have To Make This Call for yourself below.
