If you own just one Polish punk rec-- No, honestly! If you own just one Polish punk record it ought to be Nowa Aleksandria. Songs like the title track and ‘Bez Konca’ are high-velocity, synth-enhanced anthems – ANTHEMS - that effortlessly vault over the language barrier to convey an incredible mix of bitterness, optimism and longing for escape. It’s incredibly engineered, guitars chugging and crunching and iridescent like a souped-up Outsiders; bruisingly percussive throughout, songs like ‘To Slowa’ have a simultaneously dub-wise and proto-metal intensity that betrays a clear debt to Killing Joke.
