The Beat Freaks
Progressive visions straight from the era of steam engine and engineering development combined with musical sensitivity and lyricism create a mixture as surprising as it is thrilling. The rhythm that is the basis of existence and progress has become the starting point for the world of melodious stories and unbridled improvisations, to which the musicians of The Beat Freaks invite.
The band was formed in 2014. They made their debut album "Leon" as well as music for the film "Zamoyski". Musicians combine their experience gained in various musical formations to jointly develop a unique musical expression.
In October 2019 the band releases their second album "Stay Calm", consisting of 13 original compositions.
Musicians boldly reach for elements of free-jazz, without forgetting about beautiful melodies and thrilling themes.
The Beat Freaks often refers to the rich tradition of Polish-Jazz and the Slavic romantic soul, while playing with both the form and rhythm of the songs.
