De Press is an influential post-punk band that originated from the unique alliance of Norwegian and Polish members, offering a sound that embodies a rich mix of cultural influences. The band formed in Oslo in 1980 and quickly gained recognition for their distinctive fusion of punk energy with folk and new wave elements. They were led by the distinct vocals and charisma of Andrzej Dziubek, a Polish artist whose collaboration with Norwegian musicians created a compelling dynamic that carried the band's innovative spirit.
With a discography that spans decades, De Press has consistently evolved their musical style while staying true to their roots. Their more recent releases, such as "Body Manifest" and "Scurcysyny", continue to demonstrate their penchant for thought-provoking lyrics and a sound that challenges genre boundaries. "Agent Ego" and "56" echo the band's earlier post-punk vigor, yet infuse it with contemporary sensibilities. Their experimentation with traditional music is further echoed in works like "Sex spod Tater" and "Norwid - Gromy i pyłki", where the band pays homage to their Slavic roots. Seasonal touches are found in "Kolędy", an album where they reimagine classic carols. De Press also offers social commentary in "Źre nas konsumpcja" and "Rekyl", highlighting their engagement with modern societal issues. With "Pust Wsiegda", the band reaffirms their status as constant innovators and a voice for cultural fusion in the modern music scene. Through the years, De Press has maintained their relevance and has been recognized as a band that not only helped define the post-punk genre but also transcended it by integrating cross-cultural experiences and sounds into their music.
