I cannot imagine I live the other way.
It would be way too boring,
I could be already dead, I guess.
I'm just not interested

Patrick is well known guy on Polish and European Hard-core scene. Over ten years he was a singer of most popular Polish Hard-core band called Sunrise. Hundreds of kids still love his lyrics which are nothing different than "lashing truth campaign". But this interview isn't about Sunrise, their attitude, or about music. I have asked him about current race of Hard-Core scene. Looks like isn't bad at all, at least in his eyes.

Patric, I'm curious what's all about. I mean a specific trend in hardcore stage. It's really hard to find some common points between present and past days. I think not only about things connected with natural 'progress', like ordering tapes by post office or downloading them by Internet. I perceive some change, which seems to be deep into minds of hardcore kids, change in their mentality.
I am not really sure what you mean but if it it's about the link between today's and yesterday's HC, then for me it's the same as it was. I follow what made me love this scene in the first place. Of course, I get older and it's harder to get impressed but still I have lots of the moments I thrilled to, the records, shows, fanzines and people behind all of those. HC/punk got really big and place that atracts tons of dorks but it's always like that. But it doesn't affect me much as I don't feel like being part of this "big" HC scene much. The shows I go to are still the small ones. And I like it.
How do you feel in this 'new reality'? Still so good when you recorded, lets say: 'Fire walk with me'?
Kind of better I guess. I have learnt along the way and met wonderful peeps. Back than it was all fresher and I was easier to be impressed. Could get easily disappointed, too. I saw too many fakes and cared way too much about certain people and doing this could left me as a burnt out. I was a bit way too naive back then, I guess. So I had to learn how to deal with it, as I did.
You are bound up with hardcore stage for so many years. You are a singer, shows promoter, I know that you also do some fan Zine's projects.What is so strong magnet,which keeps you still in?
I like doing this. I met friends through doing this. I learnt a lot through doing this. HC/punk culture is one of these rare places where things are real and where still I can see something unexpected and wild. Where people are not afraid to voice their opinion and be whatever they gonna be. Where they still believe that there's much more in this world than we are supposed to have. Every once in a while bands or fanzines or shows pop up to make me feel sure that it's not over yet. I still have tons of fun, meet new people, get excited on the road trips.
When I wonder about history of hardcore stage I can see that is permanently changing, or I would rather say liberalizing. Some currents, ideas born and die soon, trough interest in socialism and communism to hard-line movement or pro-live, pro-choice ideology. For many kids this worlds doesn't mean much. It seems that strong ideology on hardcore stage stopped to be crucial. There are still many people fighting for animal rights or being straight edge, but it's not a vital part of being hardcore kid nowadays. Are this signs of evolution or regression? Where we follow?
I don't believe that HC scene should hava a certain type of ideology, mindset or code. That would be stupid. Punk was against all type of rules in the first place. What HC scene suffers is getting homonized, toothless and way too predicatable. It's like heavier version of pop culture. It wasn't supposed to be another genre of music and place where you can complete your career. No way. The problem is that everything revolving around money way too much and if this is the factor to determine the shape of the scene then it's really bad. I got hooked by the HC/punk because it has everything I lacked in the everyday life. I hated showing off, rat race and all the types of bullshit behaviours. I met other misfits, outcasts and uncool people who didn't care about the social status quo. I still love it and it pisses me off big time when I see all that bullshit - bands who try to be the next big thing, people who have nothing to say, ass licking groupies... Fuck you very much.
For many years you are living by this well-specified moral system which essence seems to be in worlds: 'born free, die free'. I can imagine that's easy or even cool to say things like this on shows,but isn't it hard to be constant in this ideas in such an aspects of life as family, school,work?
It's the easiest thing in the world as I live the way I like and it doesn't take me much to carry it on. I don't feel like changing my lifestyle a iota. It works well for me. I never cared too much about the opinions of people around. I can say I am pretty much happy with my life and the things that happened to me. Of course, I have to face tons of everyday bullshit and deal with people who don't get a clue what I am. Usually I'm among totally different type of people and watching them only makes me feel better about all the choices I have made. I cannot imagine I live the other way. It would be way too boring, I could be already dead, I guess. I'm just not interested.
