TSA is a Polish hard rock and heavy metal band formed in 1979 in Opole. The initiative was led by guitarist and bassist, who also created the band's name. The original lineup included Stefan Machel (guitar), Janusz Niekrasz (bass), and Marek Kapłon (drums). Initially, TSA was an instrumental band and gained recognition by winning a "battle of the bands" at the 1981 Jarocin Festival, where they met Marek Piekarczyk, who became the band's vocalist shortly after. The band's song "Zwierzenia kontestatora" ("Confessions Of A Contestant") is featured in the musical documentary Behind the Iron Curtain, which chronicles Iron Maiden's first visit to Poland and other Eastern European countries. Additionally, their song "Marsz wilków" ("The Marching Of The Wolves") appears in the 1983 Polish children's movie Akademia Pana Kleksa (Academy of Mr. Kleks), based on Jan Brzechwa's 1946 book. TSA disbanded on the eve of the 1990s but reunited in the spring of 2001 to record and perform a 'classical line-up' of music.
