To have a cowboy heart.
The Brno band Poletíme? on their new album Kroskántry discover within themselves a cowboy heart and they extend their unique banjo-punk style trying another one – country, or more precisely, as they put it – ‘kántry’. On the third studio album of Poletíme? they emphasize the humorous lyrics which are straightforward, poetic, yet slightly vulgar. After the second album called Skupina dobře vypadajících mužů/Band of good-looking men the band set out from Brno’s clubs to main stages of not only rock festivals and now with the new album they confirm their position of joyful band, full of brisk rhythm and melodic choruses.

The song “Muž neviditelný“ is in a special category; it tells the life story of....... more
