GB · 1998–present · active
Pulkas were a London-based groove and alternative metal band formed in the mid-1990s who signed to Earache Records before releasing their lone studio album Greed in 1998, produced by Colin Richardson. A contractual dispute with Earache following interest from larger labels derailed the band's momentum, and they quietly dissolved around 1999–2000, leaving Greed as a cult artifact of the late-1990s British heavy underground.
Zyrardow, Mazowieckie, PL · 2006–present · active
Pull The Wire are a Polish punk rock band from Zyrardow, active since 2006 and known for a loud, melodic, socially observant take on punk. Their music draws from California punk, British punk tradition, and Polish guitar-driven underground rock, combining fast tempos, direct riffs, chantable choruses, and lyrics sung in Polish. The band's early years included demos, festival contests, and growing recognition around the 2014 debut W Polsce jest ogien, followed by appearances connected to the Woodstock and Pol'and'Rock circuit. Later records such as Negatyw, Sztuka Przemijania, and Zycie to western expanded the band's voice, mixing humor, bitterness, everyday frustration, and reflective storytelling. Pull The Wire's lineup evolved over time, including a shift that moved Marszal into the lead vocal role while retaining guitar duties. The band's identity is strongly live-oriented: energetic, conversational, and built for club crowds and festival singalongs rather than detached studio polish.
