KURWS www: http://kurws.com bandcamp: http://kurws.bandcamp soundcloud: https://soundcloudkurws vimeo: https://vimeo.com/kurws fb: https://www.facebook.com/kurws (the) Kurws have formed in May 2008 as an unexpected result of a ping pong session. Since then together they pursue their own search, not as much in areas of defined genres, but within the very foundations of rock “base”, expression and sound. It is a workshop, where improvisations penetrate through composed material, which seems to be a congealed form of the creation process. Armed with repetitions, recombinations, variations and contrasts, they frolic with memory and expectations. Post punk, krautrock, rock in opposition, funk, no wave - modes of playing, motives, riffs we heard time and time again, are being here presented in a totally different context - they are dissected from their original environment, placed side by side, used in a brand new manner, deconstructed and distilled. Their debut album “Hole in the ghetto” (released in a “joint venture” by Qulturap, Oficyna Biedota, Trująca Fala, Blinded) came out in 2011 and it bid its release in the US byBat Shit Records. In the meantime, in 2012, they created Pustostany (released in 2017 on vinyl by Sweet Rot Records) - an emphemeral band with Maciek Salamon from the bands Gówno and Nagrobki as vocalist. In 2014 a second album of the Kurws, entitled “Wszystko co stałe rozpływa się w powietrzu" / “All that is solid melts into air” was released on CD by Gusstaff Records (CD) and in Spring 2015 on vinyl (Gaffer Records / Red Wig records & tapes). Same year it’s become a record of a day at WFMU radio. In September 2017 the band has published their third album entitled “Alarm“ on CD (by Gustaff Records once again), its LP release has materialized November same year(cooperatevely by Red Wig, Mon Cul C’est Du Tofu? and Jacob Records). During nearly 10 years of existance the band has played numerous gigs throughout Europe. In August 2017 They’ve toured extensively Russia, literaly through all the continent – from St. Petersburg to Vladivostock. The band also apears in documentary „Do It Together” about independent music scene around the world. The band still consider themselfs as faithful henchmen of DIY principles.
