Forgotten bands that changed Polish music, part 2: Azyl P and Their Perpetual Rebellion
Azyl P was established in 1982 in Szydłowiec. The band Azyl P. was created from the merger of two already existing bands: The Pockets and Reserve. The band consisted of: the late guitarist and vocalist Andrzej Siewierski, guitarist Leszek Żelichowski, bassist Darek Grudzień and drummer Marcin Grochowalski. The guys played Hard Rock and Glam Metal music. he recorded such hits as: "I think I'm dying", "Oh Lila" and "Twoje Życie", but the biggest hit was "Mała Maggie". The band's name is an abbreviation for political asylum and in a camouflaged way it referred to the political situation in the country during martial law. Poland struggled with the repression of martial law, and music was a form of escape for many, and sometimes even secret opposition. Azyl P, although originally a rock and glam metal group, did not shy away from difficult, socio-political topics in their work, which made their songs particularly resonant among listeners. &qu
