15 Newer DIY Punk Bands from Poland to Check Out and Follow
It’s been about 30 years since I last wrote a scene report from Poland, and as far as I can remember, the very last one was for Profane Existence. This means that almost three decades of not writing makes me competent enough to commit to another one. But this is not a scene report! Take […]
The post 15 Newer DIY Punk Bands from Poland to Check Out and Follow first appeared on DIY Conspiracy – International Zine in the Spirit of DIY Hardcore Punk!
We finish the list with a bang. If the name Post Regiment sounds familiar, and I bet it does, Ye.stem should be your frequent choice from this list.
Formed by three musicians from Post Regiment and a singer from ska band Dubska, Ye.stem is taking the scene by storm, playing gigs all over the place. The connotations are obvious—lots of Post Regiment references, but can they help it? Don’t think so. It’s tattooed into their DNA and I don’t mind. Their solid rhythm section and the omnipresent, unmistakable guitar sound is one of the best things to happen to Polish punk. The original vocals only add to the experience. Ye.stem is brisk punk with very sharp lyrics written from either a personal or historical perspective.
Check out their debut LP on Sanctus Propaganda (already reviewed by DIY Conspiracy here), some say it gonna be in your TOP 10 albums of 2023.
And this is it.
Thanx for making it to the end.
I hope you discovered some good tunes and will come back for more. Look for other bands from the area and do not hesitate to write and ask for more.
Appendix: Rozbrat Stays!
And while I am at it… I would like to draw your attention to the oldest squat in Poland called Rozbrat, situated in Poznań.
Home for thousands of gigs, performances, meetings, sport, library and resistance. Home for hundreds of squatters for the past 29 years.
Rozbrat has risked eviction number of times and since it got more and more difficult and unpredictable, the squatters have decided to borrow loads of money and buy shares in the land the squat is on. This gives the squatters piece of mind as they cannot be evicted just like that, they are co-owners and their say needs to be respected. The money the squatters borrowed needs to be paid back and so they are raising funds now to pay their debts.
I ask you to follow this link and donate to Rozbrat. Save Rozbrat, preserve the squatter movement we all grew up with.
Thank you.
One tribe!
