One of the recent guests asked me if I know any interesting Polish bands. Well, when it comes to post-rock, I know only few and not too inventive ones. There are acts like Tides From Nebula, California Stories Uncovered, New Century Classics... Yeah, but nothing too special. Poland is pretty much behind in sound development; this is quickly changing, but it'll take a while before we can compete with Western artists.But on other areas, Poland has some exceptional stuff. Every hardcore metal lover should know about bands like Behemoth and Vader: they are possibly the most successful music projects between Oder and Western Bug. However, they are both quite far from my music taste. The only one internationally meaningful band left is Riverside: prog-rock threesome from our capital, Warsaw. Led by Mariusz Duda, they used to play intriguing blend of atmospheric rock and metal-like punch. Songs often driven by cooperation of bass and guitar really kick ass!
For today, I've chosen their 'loud' one: 'Artificial Smile' begins like guitar rollercoaster, starts drifting in the middle, then strikes again in their own progressive fashion. OK, I'm not objective here: they are my compatriots anyway. But aren't they awesome?
