Kapitan Pirx sails on the cold wave of post-punk and tells simple, urban stories from the perspective of a "midlife point". Although the lyrics are in Polish, it’s clear their musical inspirations have no territorial boundaries. From the cold atmosphere of the gray reality of the 80s, an insular bite and an unusual melodicism for this genre break through.
Currently Kapitan Pirx operates as a Silesian-Dąbrowa Basin quintet and released a debut album that appeared online on December 5, 2025. The band has dozens of successful club and open-air concerts behind them, including a performance at the Silesian Juwenalia 2025.
KSY is a musical project from Katowice, rooted in the tradition of Polish cold wave (coldwave) and European post-punk and gothic.
The band was formed in 2019 as a duo called Kosy, and in 2022 adopted the name KSY. Their sound is a dark, often minimalist fusion of cold wave, post-punk and gothic aesthetics, inspired by 80s classics such as Joy Division, The Cure and Siekiera. The music also shows dub influences that add spaciousness and depth. Heavy, pulsing bass, spacious guitars and sparse arrangements create an atmosphere of alienation, melancholy and unease.
In 2022 KSY released a debut album titled “Na wschodzie bez zmian”, released by the independent label Bat-Cave Productions. In winter 2025/2026 the band’s second album “Reflections” will be released on the Antena Krzyku label.
