TZN-Xenna - Dzieci z Brudnej Ulicy/Ciemny Pokoj 7"


Label: Tonpress; Year: 1985; Format: Vinyl 7"

TZN-Xenna were one of the numerous great Polish punk/hardcore acts that people in the West only started to discover well after releases as this one here have come out. Both tracks on this single are extremely well produced and fast-paced, but not to the point where the music just becomes noise and can't be distinguished from a Boeing 747 landing. The two songs are well crafted, and have due to the fact of having been recorded behind the so called "Iron Curtain" their own character. The band hailed from the capital of Warsaw and was founded as early as 1981, meaning they were one of the earliest punk rock acts from Poland. I need to seek out more recordings by this band that are in the vein of this 7" as this stuff is truly essential.
