Siekiera, formed in Puławy, Poland, in the early 1980s, emerged as a seminal force in the Polish post-punk and new wave scenes. Initially delivering fast, aggressive punk rock, they captivated audiences at the 1984 Jarocin Festival. Following lineup changes, Siekiera transitioned to a cold wave sound, culminating in their acclaimed 1986 album, "Nowa Aleksandria," influenced by bands like Killing Joke. Despite disbanding in 1988, their innovative approach and genre evolution have left a lasting impact on Poland's alternative music landscape.
