For Polish band Trupa Trupa, remembering our history is paramount. You may have noticed the term “unprecedented times” has become a very common way to describe life over the last few years. In some ways, that’s true, but just because these exact circumstances may feel new 0r shocking, often there is precedence.

Poland’s Trupa Trupa confront humankind’s atrocities to fight for something better. Trupa Trupa make rickety, bleak music for surviving authoritarianism. Since self-releasing their full-length debut, 2011’s LP, the trio from the coast of northern Poland have wandered through the foggiest and most aching parts of psych and garage rock, postpunk, and posthardcore to create a sound whose greatest consistency is its ability to express the darkest aspects of the human experience—and the beauty we must nurture despite it all.

In 2018, Trupa Trupa was 15 minutes from taking the stage at the venerable South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas, when singer and guitarist Grzegorz Kwiatkowski’s amp burned out.
