Great Polish music

I don't like people complaining: "nowadays Polish music is bad, nowadays there are no great artists"... If you think like this, you are completely wrong, because there are plenty of them.

Power of Trinity
My favourite Polish band from Łódź. In the previous month PoT released a new CD, Ultramagnetic.

My favourite track is the last one, "Prywatny raj" ("The Private Paradise"). It is powerful, yet so sad. I would say this song is bitter-sweet. You can not forget about their most recognizable song from Ultramagnetic, "Telefon" ("Telephone"), which promote the album. You can see it here:

Ocean (OCN)
I also like Ocean. Such a pity OCN broke up the band in 2016... The lyrics are meaningful and thought-provoking - you can hear it in the song "Dom". What is more, it is quite unique to see a Polish band very popular outside Poland. That is the case :) A few songs are in English (for example, "Waterfall").

Riverside
Have I said a Polish band very popular outside Poland? Riverside is an extreme example of it - literally no one in Poland knows it. For comparison, whenever they put on a concert abroad, there is always a big crowd.
Unfortunately, one of their guitarist, Piotr Grudziński, died in February 2016 :(
As far as I know, all the songs are in English - and that is the reason why it is so popular abroad.
Just see how professional, beautiful and heart-warming its songs are:
(Plus, look at the breathtaking Polish scenery in the clip!)

LemON

It is a band that made its debut in a talent show at the initiative of Igor Herbut. A very interesting is the fact that the band's name, "lemon", does not refer to the fruit, but it consists of two words: Lemkivshchyna, a place of singer's origins ("lem" also means "only"), and English word on.
My favourite songs: "Będę z tobą" ("I Will Be With You") and "Scarlett"

Bracia

I think you've heard about Krzysztof Cugowski. His sons, Wojciech Cugowski and Piotr Cugowski, formed a band in 1997. Bracia has four albums so far.

Nowadays there are a lot of great bands. That is why you should not generalise and say they are nonexistent - they are here, but you should look for them very well ;)
