NEVER ONE OF US
Our love for the Polish hardcore scene runs deep. We're thrilled to see a new band with some familiar faces emerge: ENERGY JAR ()
We caught up with JP to dive into what ENERGY JAR is all about:
"Energy Jar is a band from Wroclaw, Poland. We started in December 2024 when JP joined forces with Mac (both also in Heavy Runner and formerly of Last Dayz), Krystian (Lie After Lie), and Oskar (Surowica). We quickly wrote a couple of songs, recorded a short demo, and recently played our first show.
With the current resurgence of beatdown and metal-influenced sounds, we decided to take a different route and explore other inspirations we've had for a while. The most obvious influences you'll hear on the demo are Bad Brains and early Cro-Mags, but we also like to incorporate non-hardcore jams here and there, as well as a d-beat part reminiscent of something you'd find on an Anti-Cimex album.
We stand for what we always have: the hardcore community, resisting the commercialization of our culture, and opposing the far-right and the growing influence of big business on our daily lives.
In the near future, our plan is to work on new music, potentially record an 8–10 track album, and, of course, play some shows in the meantime."
