reggae music. The origins of Kryzys go back to the year 1978, when in
Warsaw, a punk rock ensemble
The Boors was created by
Robert Brylewski (g., voc.), Piotr Mrowinski (g.), Marek Iwanczuk (bg., later replaced by Ireneusz Werenski) and Kamil Stoor (dr.), who was in January 1980 replaced by Maciej Góralski. In May 1979, the band changed the name into

First All-Polish Reviev of the New Wave, which took place in early August 1980 at
Kolobrzeg Soon afterwards, due to contacts of manager Jacek Olechowski (the brother of
Andrzej Olechowski), Kryzys played a tour of
Upper Silesia and

Exodus,
Turbo and Fantom), and
Pomerelia (9 shows, together with Stalowy Bagaz and
