There’s a great new Trupa Trupa EP out.
There’s a great new Trupa Trupa EP out.
Trupa Trupa are one of the most earnest and hard-working bands currently working. It’s no wonder frontman Grzegorz Kwiatkowski is an avowed Werner Herzog fan; after all, he’s heading a band who are practicing acolytes of the German director’s artistic aspirationalism.

Trupa Trupa = postpunk, psychedelie, posthardcore, shoegaze, no wave a víc. Grzegorz Kwiatkowski, Tomek Pawluczuk, Wojtek Juchniewicz, Rafal Wojczal, první kapela z někdejšího východního bloku podepsaná legendárními Sub Pop Records, pod kterými vydali loňskou řadovku Of the Sun. Na tu navazují také aktuálním EP nazvaným I’ll Find.
Freistadt Gdańsk’s Trupa Trupa are back after their last LP Of The Sun, with a four track EP which is as good a way as any to fall headlong into their world.
Here is a recap of some notable socially conscious music released during the month of February.
As we approach the end of 2019 it is now a good time to look back on some of the notable protest albums released during the year. The albums are listed alphabetical order. Hopefully, you’ll be introduced to some new socially conscious music.
Post-hardcore, shoegaze, postpunk, indiepop: Trupa Trupa brengt al deze stijlen onder in een krachtig en schitterend eigen geluid.
We may never know the source of the cosmic winds that blew these two bands in the same orbit, but to have the Gdansk, Poland based TRUPA TRUPA and the Austin, TX based Suspirians sharing the same cassette is really, really magickal. Roaring out of the gate in 2015 with their album Headache on X-Ray […]
Trupa Trupa’s monochrome post-punk is committed yet functional.

You can make a real link between black midi’s fierce invention and many of the Polish acts on the bill at OFF Festival – take Trupa Trupa, whose hypnotic post-punk uses CAN basslines as starting points to deliver a psychedelia far more interesting than many of their motorikby-number British counterparts.
Now, most of us are nostalgic about the pop music of our youth. It was better then. But essentially, love, the lack of it, the pursuit of it, and the obsession with it – that’s the stuff of most pop music. And probably always has been. Occasionally though, superstar-singers and bands address major political themes, […]
The band that won’t forget: Gdańsk group mixes poetry with psychedelia – and messages about the Holocaust.
Polish band Trupa Trupa is a far more complicated picture to draw, as they take to the stage in Ljubliana Castle.
I’ve seen Trupa Trupa twice this year, once a month! And both times their incredible songs have taken on a slightly different life.
Da wächst langsam etwas Großes zusammen, diese Feststellung hatte ich zu „Headache“ geschrieben. Das war 2015, und es handelte sich dabei um das dritte Album der Band Trupa Trupa. Zwei Jahre später erschien „Jolly New Songs“, und das war schon ein toller kompakter Brocken, aber auch ein wenig undurchsichtig, dabei sehr reizvoll und auch schon großartig.
In this week of love and sickness, of course, some new music needs to emphasize the ‘sickness’-part of that equation.
It’s been a joy covering Trupa Trupa over the past couple of years, and I was absolutely delighted to see the band from Gdańsk, Poland, popping up here on Whited Sepulchre’s split series. Their brand of psychedelic post-punk with intensely political undertones (frontdude Grzegorz Kwiatkowski is a fascinating poet and researcher, digging into some World War II–related topics on CBC radio documentary “The Invisible Shoes of Stutthof Concentration Camp”) is easy to return to again and again, and their new record “Of the Sun” on Lovitt is a stunner.
Singiel End Of The Line zapowiada płytę EP I”ll find, która ukaże się 6 marca nakładem Glitterbeat Records (Europa), Lovitt Records (USA), Moorworks (Japonia) i Anteny Krzyku (Polska).
