Kryzys is a Polish rock music band, regarded as a pioneer of Polish punk rock and reggae music. The origins of Kryzys go back to the year 1978, when in Warsaw, a punk rock ensemble The Boors was created by Robert Brylewski (g., voc.), Piotr Mrowiński (g.), Marek Iwańczuk (bg., later replaced by Ireneusz Wereński) and Kamil Stoor (dr.), who was in January 1980 replaced by Maciej "Magura" Góralski - poet, drummer and main force behind Kryzys success, writer of all lyrics of the band's songs. In May 1979, the band changed the name into Kryzys, which was suggested by Brylewski. Under new name, Kryzys performed at the legendary First All-Polish Reviev of the New Wave, which took place in early August 1980 at Kołobrzeg Soon afterwards, due to contacts of manager Jacek Olechowski (the brother of Andrzej Olechowski), Kryzys played a tour of Upper Silesia and Zagłębie Dąbrowskie (11 shows, together with Exodus, Turbo and Fantom), and Pomerelia (9 shows, together with Stalowy Bagaż and Izabela Trojanowska).

With new singer, Mirosław Szatkowski, Kryzys performed at the 1981 National Festival of Polish Song in Opole, at the 1980 Music of the Young Generation Festival in Sopot, and at the 1981 Pop Session, also in Sopot (together with De Press). In the spring 1981, without the knowledge of the band, a French recording house Blitzkrieg Records issued an album entitled Solidarite avec le rock polonais, with songs of Kryzys and another underground band from Warsaw, Deadlock. Kryzys was dissolved in July 1981, after several shows which took place at a Warsaw's Intersalto Circus tent. A few weeks later, Robert Brylewski and Tomasz Lipiński founded Brygada Kryzys.
