Izzy and the Black Trees announce the post-pandemic punk upheaval in their second album “Revolution Comes in Waves”. This time they joined forces with the renowned Polish producer Marcin Bors, together with, tucked away in a wooden house in the mountains they crafted noisy hymns which reflect the social and political reality not only in their home country but also in the U.S. and Eastern Europe.

From a quiet university city in Western Poland, Izzy and the Black Trees bring raw punk energy backed up by noisy psych guitar riffs, strong beat and feisty melodies. You can feel the aura of Patti Smith, Debbie Harry or PJ Harvey around Izzy’s songwriting and her musical deliverance. Supported by her three partners in crime, Izzy and the Black Trees invite you on a poetic rebel freeride you’ve been long waiting for.

Founded in 2018 by the singer and band leader Izabela Izzy Rekowska who spent some time in London working-up her songwriting skills prior to forming the four-piece.

The title song of the album was featured by Steve Lamacq in BBC 6 Music Recommends radio show.
