Ørganek is one of the most important voices in modern Polish rock. Founded in 2013 by guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter Tomasz Organek, the band also features Adam Staszewski (bass), Robert Markiewicz (drums), and Tomasz Lewandowski (keyboards). Known for their powerful live performances, socially engaged lyrics, and distinctive sound, Ørganek quickly gained critical and popular acclaim.
Their platinum-certified debut album Głupi (2014) set the tone for their bold musical direction. The follow-up Czarna Madonna (2016) won three Fryderyk Awards, including Rock Album of the Year. In 2021, Ørganek released two more acclaimed albums: Ocali nas miłość, inspired by wartime photographs of Eugeniusz Lokajski, and Na razie stoję, na razie patrzę, both earning Fryderyk nominations.
The band has performed at major festivals in Poland – including Męskie Granie, Open’er, and Pol’and’Rock – and across Europe. In 2023, they were featured in the prestigious MTV Unplugged series, presenting acoustic versions of their songs in innovative arrangements.
Frontman Tomasz Organek is also a best-selling novelist (The Theory of Fear Management) and recipient of multiple national artistic awards. Ørganek’s music blends raw rock energy with poetic insight, delivering a sound that is powerful, relevant, and uniquely Polish.
