The Shipyard (PL)
Piotr Pawłowski, bassist of the legendary Made in Poland and cornerstone of the project known as Heart & Soul (along with Rykarda Parasol), founded The Shipyard after moving to the Tri-City area. This extraordinary band – or alternative supergroup, rather – features drummer Filip Gałązka (Tymon & the Transistors, Brygada Kryzys, Izrael), guitarist Nela Gzowska (Kobiety), vocalist Rafał Jurewicz (Sound of Pixies), and guitarist Michał Miegoń (Kiev Office, Karol Schwarz All Stars). Their heavy, noisy, and catchy music fuses shoegaze, cold wave, and punk. Their debut album, We Will Sea, forthcoming on Nasiono Records in late August, will certainly be huge event. So will their appearance at the OFF Festival.
