Biography
Czech alternative rock band. Petr Kružík (guitar) and Jaromír Švejdík (vocals) from Jeseník have been playing together since the 80's. After the end of their first band, Chlapi z práce (Men At Work), they continued under current name, slowly changing their sound from punk to Fields of Nephilim-influenced gothic rock and, on latest records, indie rock. The only thing that is still on is a *sad sound* and misty atmosphere, which made the sound of the band easy to recognise. Currently releasing on Escape label, Priessnitz are one of the best Czech alternative rock bands.
Jaromír Švejdík is also one of authors of music project Umakart, as well as comics series about Alois Nebel.
