Polak - 3 X 3

POLAK
3 x 3
1999 The Generic Label

Notes :
Polak was 90's UK indie rock band from Brighton, formed by brothers Piotr Fijalkowski (ex- singer / vocalist in Adorable) & Krzys Fijalkowski (ex- guitarist in The Bardots). Other band members were Bob Brown (bass), Chris Parsons (drums) and Simon Dunford (keyboards).
They released three singles on Generic label in limited editions throughout 1998/99. The singles, plus a re-recording of their A-side  ''2 Minutes 45'', were put together for ''3X3'' compilation.
Polak released two albums ''Swansongs (2000)" and ''Rubbernecking (2002)'', both for One Little Indian label.
After ''Rubbernecking'', they were offered a third album by One Little Indian but by that time they were down to a three piece (Chris, Bob and Pete) and everyone was so up to their eyeballs in debt that there was no chance they’d be able to promote the album at all, so they decided to call it a day. They had recorded a couple of tracks with Bob on guitar. 

01. 2 Minutes 45
02. Not Listening
03. Last Orders
04. I'm Sick
05. I'll Lie To You
06. Private God
07. Impossible
