Brygada Kryzys is a seminal Polish rock band, renowned as one of the pioneers of punk rock and new wave in Poland. Formed in 1981 in Warsaw, the group quickly became a defining voice of the political and cultural turmoil of the times. With the leadership of frontman Robert Brylewski and bassist Tomasz Lipiński, Brygada Kryzys melded reggae rhythms with the raw energy of punk, creating an unique sound that resonated with the youth of the Solidarity era. Their self-titled debut album, "Brygada Kryzys," released the same year they were formed, is considered a milestone in Polish rock history.

Despite facing government censorship and significant political pressure during the martial law period in Poland, Brygada Kryzys persisted and produced works that echoed the sentiments of resistance and hope. Their music is characteristically charged with socio-political commentary, a trait that has remained consistent through various lineup changes and the ebb and flow of their activity. The band's most recent works include "Xxxlive," an album capturing the raw live energy of their performances, and "Cosmopolis," a studio album that sees the band continuing to explore and challenge the contemporary musical landscape while staying true to their legacy. Brygada Kryzys remains an icon in Polish rock history, both for their artistry and their unwavering commitment to social and political expression through music.
