[1] The origins of Kryzys go back to 1978, when the Warsaw punk rock ensemble The Boors was started by Robert Brylewski (g., voc.
[3] 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).
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.
In the summer 2008, the band performed at the Jarocin Festival, and in spring 2010, a Kryzys komunizmu album was published.
