Hey is a Polish rock band founded in Szczecin in 1991[1] by guitarist Piotr Banach and lead

singer Kasia Nosowska. It is one of the most popular Polish music acts of the 1990s.[citation needed]
Although Hey sometimes described themselves as the first Polish grunge band, their melodic, guitardriven rock and eclectic appearance owed more to new wave and heavy metal influences; their first
three albums contained songs in both Polish and English. During the band's mid-1990s heyday, they
sold out stadiums throughout Poland, and attempted to break into the English-language market with
a series of concerts overseas and an English version of their 1995 album ?. When this failed to
arouse interest, the band began to write in Polish only, and gradually adopted a harder-edged,
more industrial-influenced sound. Overall, the band has sold over 2.2 million album copies.
In addition, Nosowska has also enjoyed a successful career as a solo artist. She has released six
solo albums that derive more from an electronica style.
