Superlovely Polish four-piece PAST knows just exactly how to summon "the good old times" with their debut-4-track-release aka DEMO. On one hand this postpunk-beast clearly orientates itself to fellow countrymen MADE IN POLAND and the almighty SIEKIERA (Nova Alexandria-era), on the other one can hear a good slice of dreamy VaNNA INGET and X-MAL DEUTSCHLAND - which btw were painted on the back of my very first leatherjacket, hehe. Dreamy and driven, melancholic and yet critical of society - the song "Ulrike" is about German RAF-founder Ulrike Meinhof - theres a distinct leftwing punk background going on, and thats the way it has to be! The rotating female-male vocals are brilliant and add an extra-large special bonus as they are in their mother tongue. Theres no way around PAST if youre in any way into good 80s postpunk!!
