Deep below my headbanging, metal-oriented surface lies a hidden hipster. My hunger for music turned my life into a never-ending journey in the search of new bands and artists. While on my way, I often stop to fall for something that doesn't sound metal at all.

I also have tendency to praise not-so-famous artists. Musicians you're going to read about right now may be familiar to local fans, but are hardly known to people living outside boarders of Poland. I think they deserve a little more fame.

Lilly Hates Roses

Indie pop duo comprised of Katarzyna Gołomska and Kamil Dulski debuted in 2013 with album "Something to happen". Sophomore production "Mokotów" was released in 2015 by Sony Music Poland. They remind me of Of Monster and Men is some way.

Łąki Łan

On funky stage since 2002. If you were watching Eurovision and found Michał Szpak to be some kind of wacky, those guys will make your brain explode. Probably the crankiest and most inventive guys out there. They have tendency to put a lot of onomatopoeia-based neologisms and puns in their lyrics.

Sorry Boys

Electronic/alternative rock band performing since 2006. First release titled "Hard Working Classes" came out in 2010. Another work "Vulcano" was released 3 years later.

Curly Heads

Singer Dawid Podsiadło might be highly prolific when performing solo (his albums were sold in more than 200 thousands of copies together), but his band still seems to be heavily underrated.

Krzysztof Zalewski

One of the best male voices in the history of Polish music. Back in the past he played hard rock/heavy metal and performed under the moniker Zalef. He also played the guitar for Loch Ness, band from Lublin.

That's all for now. I hope you enjoyed listening. Maybe you know some nice underrated music from your country? You can tell me about it in the comments!

Hip hip hurray! Here comes my first crack at blogging under this brand new, mischievous domain. After I had finally chosen the right template and had finished it's editing (HTML it's such a poetic language...), I started to wonder what my first entry should be about. I had far more than one idea and picking the best option took me some time. Eventually I entered philosophical mode and decided to find the answear for seemingly simple, yet deep question...
Why the hell I even bother to press those letter buttons?

I just enjoy writing
As pure and simple motivation as it can be. It might be an introvert thing, but I find writing to be easier and more natural than speaking. It's funny how my below-Groot-level conversation skills looks like next to my via-hand-talk.

I need to produce non-fiction pieces for a change
I love my characters, but dedicating my entire penning time to them and only them it's far too much for my fragile nerves. Sometimes my keyboard really wants to be used for something different. Like an album review, for example.

I wanted to improve my foreign language skills
I don't have much occasions to upgrade my practical English. Yes, I have some non-Polish friends, but usual texting to one another via Facebook or Skype won't give you that rush to expand vocabulary.

I have quite legit music knowledge and I wanted place to share it
I'm also very humble person (ironic little laugh comes here). Now let's be serious - music is my big passion and like writing about it. Beware of underrated artists and playlists spamming

I had to get more social
Inner urge to promote posts (because people don't blog for themselves and their drawers alone, that's what traditional, "offline" diaries were made for) is very good catalyser for human-to-human interaction. Even hermits like me need it sometimes.

I want to freeze my "at this moment" self in time
Like time capluse, but less underground. It will be cool to dug up my old entries in the future and remind myself what I liked, what was on my head and who I was in general. I may not remember those things in my senior years.

It can turn into good self-promotion tool
Because after finishing, publishing and eventually translating my novels into English, I would like to have readers. Who knows, maybe stranger who stumbled upon here by accident will become one someday?
