Kroki is a band made up of three musical individualities – producer Łukasz Palkiewicz (Szatt), vocalist Jakub Goleniewski (Jaq Merner) and bassist Paweł Stachowiak (Uncle HZG). Their eclectic style which is a combination of inspirations from diverse genres has brought Kroki a distinctive and recognisable sound, recognised for example with the 2017 Fryderyk Awards. After three albums released in English – Stairs (2016), Controlled Chaos (2019) and Underwater (2021), the band released their first Polish-language material Szkoda in July 2021.
