Primavera Sound / QRO Magazine
Trupa Trupa were a revelation. Their sweet, generous mix of light shoegaze, light indie rock from the ‘90s, light post-rock, and a very simple and straightforward sense of humour made for a fun and, let’s say, digestible concert.

Primavera Sound / AJ Dehany
Trupa Trupa’s monster show at Primavera, with heavy and raucous guitar sounds and beautiful songs of emotional abjection.

Liverpool Sound City / Gigwise
After such revelry the day entered a third stage; watching the bands on our curatorial list sock it to the locals. Gdansk’s Trupa Trupa were up first, knocking out an ear-bleedingly loud set on a hot afternoon upstairs in the Blade Factory.

Liverpool Sound City review
Intense boulder-crunching Polish doom-laden rock. Everyone looks like they’ve been hit with a wet fish.

Jolly New Songs review – Rockdelux
Grzegorz Kwiatkowski, líder de la banda polaca Trupa Trupa, es un poeta de cierto renombre en su país natal, con alguno de sus libros traducidos al inglés y el alemán. Su álbum anterior, Headache (2015), tercero en su discografía, alcanzó cierta re-percusión en el mundo anglosajón, y ahora, con JoIIy New Songs, aspiran a consolidar lo logrado.

Jolly New Songs review – La Provincia
Polonia se ha convertido en una excelente cantera para el postrock de última generación. El grupo Popsysze lo lleva demostrando desde hace años y Trupa Trupa coloca estos sonidos por terrenos pocos transitados.

Interview for THE APOLOGIST
La ville de Gdansk est plus connue pour son passé chargé d’histoire plutôt que pour sa scène musicale. Entre pessimisme et sombres heures de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, la cité polonaise bordée par la Mer Baltique n’a pas dit son dernier mot et l’avenir semble d’un coup beaucoup moins morose et pessimiste, comme emprunte d’un renouveau à l’écoute des quatre gaillards de Trupa Trupa.

Jolly New Songs review – Tiny Mix Tapes
I’m with C these days — vocal-based rock music can pretty much go suck a lemon, because I just have some sort of medulla oblongata–based involuntary function to scratch with non-rock releases. Read: give me experimental or give me death! (Or, uh, at least something better to listen to.)

Jolly New Songs review – Nouvelle Vague
Venu tout droit de Gdansk, le groupe Trupa Trupa nous présente son dernier album intitulé « Jolly New Songs ». Brillant et étrange mélange entre clair et obscur, oscillant entre les différentes gammes de gris et sa palette si singulière, forment malgré tout un son cohérent.

Jolly New Songs review – Indie Rock Mag
Avec Jolly New Songs, les Polonais de Trupa Trupa dévoilent déjà leur quatrième long-format. Au moment de présenter cette sortie, leurs bagages sont pourtant lestés d’un élément absent jusqu’alors : la pression.

Jolly New Songs review – Debaser
Nutro una insana passione per i dischi recuperati sul finire dell’anno. Ogni anno mi capita di innamorarmi di un disco appena prima di stilare una ideale classifica dei migliori dell’annata trascorsa, e anche il 2017 non è stato differente dagli anni precedenti.
