Don't Panic, We're From Poland!!! part 84 - Homo Twist

Homo Twist is a band formed in 1993 by Maciej Maleńczuk and some jazz musicians. They played rock with some jazz and blues influences. Fist album "Cały ten seks" was released in 1994 and second "Homo Twist" in 1996. "Moniti Revan" from 1997 is first album recorded with Olaf Deriglasoff. Music became simpler with some touch of punk. It's dark, dense music with lots of great riffs. Some songs have lyrics written in language invented by Maleńczuk.
