Bio (based off the description from the cassette booklet):

The folk rock band Szela was formed in Trójmiasto out of the ashes of the groups Packet and Smugglers. The band members, fascinated by British progressive folk, decided to adapt Polish folk songs into a rock format.


(cassette scans can be found on discogs)

Audio samples:

Thx for bumping it up....

Indeed it had passed under our radar.

We'll look into it ASAP Wink

prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

missed it too. Yes for me. Question: spotify has a group with same name, album called Megmerresel. They sound much sparer and folkier so not sure it's even the same group. Do you know?

Here's the full album on YT (the only source I could find):

(And it's not often one comes across a Slipknot shirt in a folk rock band)

RYM lists only an EP from 2016

It's a no-brainer yes for me as well.

To the OP, can you provide us with a self-witten bio - or at least source a copy/paste from elsewhere?
