Most Polish rock bands follow a similar career path: they start out with ambitious songs that give way to radio-friendly hits and banal outdoor concerts. Hey, on the other hand, hit the top of the charts from the very start (we recommend the just-released re-editions of “Fire” and “Ho”), only to gradually retreat into increasingly challenging musical territory. Their latest album, “Miłość! Uwaga! Ratunku! Pomocy!” is the best proof. Rave reviews, a torrent of awards, and a best-selling album show that our alternative scene isn’t as underground as you would think. |
