Slovak favourites Polemic return to Fléda

Releasing a new album isn't a priority for Polemic these days. As Bejzo told musicserver.cz, the band is focusing mainly on writing individual songs, which they plan to put together on a best of record later. It could include one of their most-played songs, Tancuj (2016), Štramák (2022), their single with Matěj Ruppert, or last summer's hit Plážová, whose music video starred Lasky from Para.

They recorded their latest record so far, Hey! Ba-Ba-Re-Bop (2015), in their own One Love studio with many Czech and Slovak musicians, including Palo Habera, Katarína Knechtová, Lenka Dusilová and Matěj Ruppert. "For the guest singers we deliberately went for people with voices whose quality nobody needs convincing of, and at the same time voices that would show themselves in ways fans hadn't heard before," trumpeter Peter Opet told hudba.sk.

The band has its roots in Bratislava, where it was founded in 1988 by a group of ska enthusiasts. They became widely known mainly thanks to the album DO SKA (1997) and the song Mesto (1997). Successful albums followed: Gangster-Ska (2000), Nelám si s tím hlavu (2002) and Nenudin (2005). In 2011 they finished the huge POLEMIC SONY ERICSSON TOUR 2009, with one hundred and twenty shows in five European countries. With eight albums behind them, they are now celebrating thirty-five years on the music scene. The eight-piece has opened for many bands, including Ska-P, The Real McKenzies and The Skatalites, and played festivals such as Barbakan, Back to the Roots and Rock for People.
