Sztywny Pal Azji


Sztywny Pal Azji is a Polish rock band, popular in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It was founded in 1986 in Chrzanów by Jarosław Kisiński, a guitarist and composer of the band's hits. Sztywny Pal Azji first came to prominence during the 1986 Jarocin Festival, gaining a large following with its mix of punk rock, reggae and pop. It also played Jarocin in 1987, 1988 and 1989, and its eponymous 1987 debut album Europa i Azja saw two hits, Spotkanie z... and Wieża radości, wieża samotności, included in Marek Niedźwiedzki's desired Third Program on Polish Radio.
1989's Szukam nowego siebie included such hits as Smutna środa and Nie zmienię świata. However, in the course of time the band's popularity began to diminish and the band fell apart in the 1990s.
Sztywny Pal Azji returned in the summer of 2007, and recorded a new album with new lead singer Bartosz Szymoniak. The LP was released on 22 February 2008 under the title Miłość jak dynamit.
