Stress is the first true Polish power trio. The band played a rough and dark kind of rock marked by heavy and catchy riffs, dazzling guitar solos, dynamic drums and a massive bass sound. Stress readily experimented with the sound (e.g. playing it backwards) and made use of the flute, vibraphone and violin in their songs. It is hard to believe that this band, today almost forgotten, back then in Poznań’s PR studio recorded stunning European-level material clearly better than the overrated songs played by Polish rock celebrities of that time.
