The Analogs

The Analogs are a Polish street punk band. Originating in Szczecin, they have been successful on the local and international punk rock scene with hundreds of concerts played across Europe as well as musical releases in Poland, Russia, and the USA. The Analogs have seen coverage in major Polish news outlets (such as Gazeta Wyborcza or Onet.pl) as well as many alternative music publications and punk zines. Although almost absent from national radio and television stations, they are well known among the underground audience in Poland, as well as in Germany, Russia, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, and other countries where they often tour. They have been referred to as the most active and most popular street punk band in Poland, where they are seen as precursors of the genre and credited with popularising it in the country. Despite originally being an "apolitical" formation, The Analogs have always been completely committed to anti-fascism and anti-racism. Eventually they started referring to themselves as "100% leftie" and began focusing on even more social issues in their songs. They have performed alongside influential ska artist Roy Ellis and recognise the multi-cultural roots of the skinhead subculture.
