Taking place in 1970-1979 in Jarocin, Wielkopolskie Rytmy\u003cbr\u003eMłodych (Youth Rhythms of Greater Poland) transformed into Ogólnopolski Przegląd Muzyki Młodej\u003cbr\u003eGeneracji (National Review of Young Generation Music) and in June 1980 opened an important chapter\u003cbr\u003efor the music scene in Poland. At the same time, political transformations also take place throughout\u003cbr\u003ePoland, only to erupt a moment later, in August 1980, with a scale of strikes and workers' protests that\u003cbr\u003ewould result in a military coup and martial law, which would take place a year later. The social and youth\u003cbr\u003emovements cemented. For the latter, from now on it will be Jarocin that will be the main place of meeting,\u003cbr\u003eexchange and confrontation.\u003cbr\u003eFor the first edition of OPMMG Jarocin, in addition to more prominent names such as MAANAM,\u003cbr\u003ePORTER BAND, KASA CHORYCH, KOMBI and debutants like DŻEM, two bands from our circle of\u003cbr\u003einterest - KRYZYS and NOCNE SZCZURY - are also invited. The former do not make it and thus\u003cbr\u003eNOCNE SZCZURY become the only, and at the same time mythical, first ever performer of \"punk music\"\u003cbr\u003eto appear on the festival stage. The band from Władysławowo was invited as one of the most interesting\u003cbr\u003eformations representing a \"new phenomenon\", opening the door to dozens of punk bands that appeared in\u003cbr\u003ethe following years.\u003cbr\u003eDuring their performance, they presented only two songs - composed, by the way, by a major British band\u003cbr\u003ethat remade the world in 77 - adding lyrics of their own. Due to temporary perturbations in the line-up, the\u003cbr\u003egroup was powered by the one-time baton-wielding hard rock band CYTRUS.\u003cbr\u003eThis short concert was definitely more than a presentation of the group's own. It was a representation of\u003cbr\u003ethe new angry culture and the community around it. It was the Night Rats (Nocne Szczury) who were\u003cbr\u003eamong the first to so explicitly promote the inter-city integration of punk communities, celebrating their\u003cbr\u003eown performers and friendly centres through joint tours and meetings at gigs across the country - \"Today\u003cbr\u003ewe'll meet in Remont \/ Or in Gdansk's Rudy Kota \/ If you want it in the Great Mill \/ Or somewhere\u003cbr\u003efurther afield in Jarocin\". The message loudly shouted from the stage \"We have to be strong punks - we\u003cbr\u003eare, ourselves\" reached successive generations of punx, experienced by exclusion, contempt and\u003cbr\u003eaggression from the so-called normal and orderly society or the uniformed services. This slogan is etched\u003cbr\u003einto our punk DNA.\u003cbr\u003eNOCNE SZCZURY was one of the first bands of the Polish punk movement and one of the first to break\u003cbr\u003ethe hitherto boring and predictable pattern of alienating professionalism in music. They were living proof\u003cbr\u003eof the punk phenomenon in Poland at the turn of the 70s and 80s, which exploded all over the country\u003cbr\u003efrom Władysławowo to Ustrzyki Dolne and was absolutely not a situation taking place only in big cities.\u003cbr\u003eTheir participation in these processes, but above all the sincerity and togetherness emanating from the\u003cbr\u003enumbers performed, guarantees them a well-deserved place in our punk history, which continues and, as\u003cbr\u003ewe now know, has not become just a \"marginal art\".\u003cbr\u003eTwo mega-archival tracks from Jarocin 1980, preceded by an important announcement by Walter\u003cbr\u003eChełstowski on a seven-inch vinyl record - the best sounding recordings that have survived of this\u003cbr\u003elegendary formation. Another rarity of the first wave of punk in PL discovered. Entire run on black vinyl,\u003cbr\u003elimited to 500 copies. No further pressings are anticipated.\u003cbr\u003e\"In front of you a punk group from Władysławowo - NOCNE SZCZURY!\".\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Refuse Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45926488408219,"sku":"7\"WPR024","price":8.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1491\/5680\/files\/MDQtNTQ3NS5qcGVn_1.jpg?v=1735604400","url":"https:\/\/pnvdistribution.com\/products\/nocne-szczury-jarocin-80-7","provider":"pnv distribution","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
