Polish stoner/desert rock band MAW has signed with Argonauta Records to release their second full-length album in early 2025.
MAW is a Polish band formed in Cracow in 2019 and influenced by the 90’ Palm Desert scene.
The band says: “Back in the days, after two months of loud and heavy riffs-based jams, we started writing songs and playing gigs. In late summer 2019, we decided to record some tracks at Vintage Record Studio. Three-day trip from Cracow to Poznan in November 2019 ended up with six tracks being recorded. Unfortunately due to the COVID-19 pandemic release and promotion of our debut album plans were postponed. Finally, it was released in January 2021, more than one year after recording. During the pandemic lockdown in the summer of 2020, drummer Michal Gawronski left the band and his place took Szymon Piotrowski. Currently, we are working on new, fresh, groovy material, which will be released early next year, with the current and new singer Jacek Niewiadomski”.
Although MAW were born of a need to play massive stoner/desert riffs, they quickly incorporate some of members’ common inspirations. You can hear drives of Color Haze or Causa Sui, the energy of Down and Alabama Thunderpussy with some Sleep-ish layers. But what is most important is that you can hear Maw in the first place.
Lineup:
Martyna Hebda – guitar
Kuba Stępień – guitar
Jacek Niewiadomski – vocals
Piotr Stępień – bass guitar
Szymon Piotrowski – drums
