Paula & Karol

Paula & Karol are not just a duo but a large family of musicians based across Warsaw, Berlin and eastern Switzerland. For the past 16 years, they have been capturing the hearts of young and old alike, across Poland and abroad. After the release of their EP Goodnight Warsaw in December of 2009, and their first studio album Overshare on Poland’s top alternative label LADO ABC in December of 2010, the band gained rave reviews by local media, bloggers, and Polish fans, gaining accalades as „discovery of the year,” and the „the most interesting and important debut bands in alternative Polish music.” By singing in English, and writing songs filled with catchy melodies and lyrics that prioritize honesty, community, and love over hype and postmodern blase, the band has been touching listeners that cross a range of generations and nationalities. Today, Paula Bialski and Karol Strzemieczny play and create music with Kuba Czubak on bass, Igor Nikiforow and Christoph Thun on drums, as well as Krzysztof Pożarowski on electric guitar. All of them would agree that an honest discussion over dinner is as important as making music together.
