The band Tuleje consists of Gosia Zagajewska, Ksawery Wójcinski, and Wojtek Kurek. Their original arrangement of folk music from eastern Greater Poland is filled with deep respect for the original material, and at the same time expresses their subjective view of tradition. A bold look, full of references to jazz, blues, early music and free improvisation. The repertoire was based on folk melodies from the Konin area -- from the villages of Babiak, Kramsk and Osiek Wielki. The lyrics were written by the singer and poet, Gosia Zagajewska. Creators coming primarily from the world of improvisation and jazz propose a new, non-obvious and uncompromising reinterpretation of traditional music, with a mood and sound loosely referring to artists such as Tom Waits or Nick Cave. The arrangements are largely based on rhythm, trance, looping, but also on improvisation, from which the tradition of rural music-making largely derives. The band's second album Puste ulice ("Empty Streets") is a well-thought-out, intense and coherent whole, consisting of both soothing ballads and short, dynamic songs with hints of punk or free jazz. The trio consistently familiarizes listeners with an uncompromising reinterpretation of traditional music, while surprising them with fresh, mature and bold ideas.

LP version. The new album of the Polski Piach trio is titled Anomalia ("Anomaly") and is the band's third album. After Poludnie and Pólnoc ("South/Noon" and "North/Midnight"), the band recorded a fully acoustic album, raw but brighter than Pólnoc. The songs contain the title anomalies and are narrative, even cinematic. They flow. The music of Polski Piach is a journey, both through the listener's imagination and musical styles. The album was recorded live in Piotr Zabrodzki's analog studio. The music was recorded on tape and mixed in analogue way. The cover was designed by Pawel Ryzko using drawings by Patryk Zakrocki.

The music of Polish band Extensa, although based on a traditional three-member instrumental line-up, escapes obvious genre assignments. Perhaps this is what a soundtrack to a film about a spaceship landing on the roof of a 200-year-old hut in the mysterious borderlands of eastern Wielkopolska, where the band comes from, could sound like. Heavy sounds and trance noise alternate with elements of psychedelia, bringing to mind the prefix "post" when describing their style. During their concerts, they evoke the atmosphere of classic Polish science fiction; the ghosts of Wilhelmi, Maklakiewicz, and Szulkin appear, the perversely used words of the Nobel Prize winner ex-president and quotations from old radio plays. The band's line-up closed in 2021, and since then it has received rave reviews touring regularly from the capital to the border. In February 2023, Extensa recorded its first material at Warsaw's Mustache Ministry Studio under the watchful and caring eye of Marcin Klimczak and soon fell into the stern but wide- open eye of Uncle Gusstaff. "We didn't agree on anything, no piece was prepared at home in advance, no one brought ideas for rehearsals" -- these are Andrzej's words. Everything is the result of "here and now." The band consists of: Mariusz Wróblewski (drums), Andrzej Radniecki (bass), and Pawel Wieloch (guitar). For fans of Russian Circles, Neurosis, Isis, Amenra.

Hailing from the Los Angeles underground of the 1980s, Savage Republic forged an astonishing reputation for themselves as art-punk and industrial pioneers with their legendary performances. Their brand of ritualistically tribal exhibitions blurred the boundaries of post-punk and industrial music. Their music incorporates minimalist bass rumbles, exotic and/or militaristic drumming, Arabic melodies, alternate tunings, primal chants and even a bit of surf guitar. In 2021 Savage Republic released the album Meteora on Gusstaff Records and during the tour promoting this album in January 2023, the band also played a concert in Wroclaw, Poland. It became not only a document of this route, but also a kind of summary of their entire history. The album is released in CD format (the entire concert), as a black LP (over half of the concert) and as a limited red vinyl with an eight-inch vinyl record (lathe-cut) added with a few remaining songs from the concert. Both LP versions were pressed on thick 200g vinyl. Vinyl versions include download codes with the entire concert.

Hailing from the Los Angeles underground of the 1980s, Savage Republic forged an astonishing reputation for themselves as art-punk and industrial pioneers with their legendary performances. Their brand of ritualistically tribal exhibitions blurred the boundaries of post-punk and industrial music. Their music incorporates minimalist bass rumbles, exotic and/or militaristic drumming, Arabic melodies, alternate tunings, primal chants and even a bit of surf guitar. Savage Republic released four full length albums in the 1980s, plus several live records and compilation tracks. In 1989 everything went quiet as the Republic scattered to pursue other interests and their labels and distributors folded. After reuniting in 2002 for a brief U.S. tour supporting the boxed-set reissue of their five studio albums by Mobilization Records, several of the members began sharing ideas for new songs, reviving the band officially in 2005. In 2006/2007 Savage Republic added drum professor Alan Waddington (the Unforgiven) to the line-up and released 1938 on Neurot Recordings, the band's first studio recording in 18 years. The limited edition Siam EP was also released on Neurot Recordings featuring alternate mixes of some of the 1938 material. With their first full-length album in seven years, Savage Republic returns with some of their best work yet! Self-recorded in a secret cavernous location, their mix of tribal textures, political anthems and Morricone-esque surf instrumentals once again transport the listener to faraway lands at turns both sinister and beautiful. One of many highlights of Meteora is the pandemic inspired piece "Unprecedented," written by Wire's Graham Lewis that is sure to become a staple in their set list. This longest-lasting lineup of Thom Fuhrmann, Ethan Port, Alan Waddington and Kerry Dowling have infused all the power of their legendary live performances into a cinematic sonic dreamscape.
