Nocne Szczury

Nocne Szczury were a Polish punk rock band from Władysławowo. Alongside Tilt, Kryzys, and Deadlock, they were one of the first punk bands formed in the Polish People's Republic.[1] Dezerter, today one of the most popular and influential punk bands from Poland, was formed one year after Nocne Szczury's first major performance.

The Władysławowo-based band, whose name in Polish means "Nocturnal Rats" or "Night Rats", were inspired by recordings of the Sex Pistols.[2][1] In 1980, they were the first punk band to perform at the Jarocin Festival (at the time known as the "All-Polish Review of Music of Young Generation in Jarocin").[2][1] They have been described as pioneers of punk rock in Poland.[1]

In March 2014 their EP 1980 was released on vinyl - it contained recordings of Nocne Szczury from August 1980, when they performed live at the "First All-Polish Review of New Rock Wave Bands in Kołobrzeg".[2][1] A relatively small number of 1980 copies were produced: 360 on black vinyl (regular version), 70 copies pressed on green vinyl (limited edition), and 70 special variants on gold vinyl (limited edition).[3]
