Myslovitz

Myslovitz is a Polish alternative rock band, whose music incorporates elements of college rock, shoegazing, and - arguably - britpop, with a dose of melancholy.

From 2003, EMI Records has been attempting to establish them internationally, with considerable support from MTV Europe. As of 2005, Myslovitz are rated as the most popular Polish act abroad. The band take their name from their industrial hometown of Mysłowice in Upper Silesia (Southern Poland).
