I'm going to assume that introductions and background information would largely be wasted on such a knowledgable assortment of punk fans, but I also cannot ignore DEZERTER's importance, so here you go. Released by Maximum Rocknroll in 1987 from master tapes that D.O.A. brought back from a European tour, Underground Out Of Poland combines tracks from DEZERTER's first EP on Polish state label Tonpress and their set from the Jarocin festival in 1984, previously released by the band as a cassette. Searing and essential punk rock music - the version of "Niewolnik" here is impossibly fierce, and "Szara Rzeczywistość" is simply one of the greatest punk songs of all time. Period.
DEZERTER are, of course, still very active. They continue to plays shows and release records, and many of their older releases and recordings have been made available to the masses by Pasażer.
