Words by Rick Moslen When you meet a new friend, it’s customary to ask, “where are you from?” The same applies when discovering a new band. Learning that Bjork exploded from Iceland or that The Flaming Lips hailed from the blue-collared Oklahoma or that Ziggy Stardust was from Mars helps one understand the music on a greater level. A band’s location held greater significance before the arrival of the ole’ internets, because musicians within local scenes influenced each other, as opposed to these days when we just have Radiohead [...]

The only Polish band I was familiar with pre The Car Is On Fire was Iowa Super Soccer . Now I know of 2 great bands from that country, one is perhaps quieter than the other but both are capable of memorableness. The Car Is On Fire come from Warsaw and according to their blog are on the cusp of releasing a new single. It’ll be their first output since the 2009 album ‘Ombarrops!’ which was recorded in Chicago. The title track is a scatty little thing, one minute it is all latter day Belle & Sebastian, the next [...]
Photo by David Greenwald The Car Is On Fire, I'll stop the world and melt with you. The band's "What Makes Me Cry," a brand-new non-album single, pushes so many Rawkblog buttons: A "ba-da-da" opening, vibraphone played by producer (and Tortoise/Sea and Caker) John McEntire, electric major 7th chords - I could go on. (You may remember fellow Rawkblog favorites like International Waters and the Ancient Greeks sounding, ahem, almost exactly like this.) "What Makes Cry's" tropical guitar-pop comes with verve, agility and hooks the size of James Cameron's ego - let it lodge itself [...]
The Car is On Fire / all photos by David Greenwald I was lucky enough - and I do mean that - to attend this year's In the City festival and conference, the event's 10th year and first, as far as I know, in Manchester. My panel ran on Wednesday afternoon last week, which meant I had nothing to do for the next three days but see bands and enjoy British beers. I did more of the latter, but I did manage to catch a few acts. MP3s, Photos and thoughts after the jump. [...]

Warsaw based trio The Car Is On Fire are a little known gem, one of those bands you are smug to know about first. They are, for all intensive purposes a slightly jazzy Passion Pit.... with balls. Garage rock mixed with electro, heated with the warm fuzz of front man and bass player Kuba Czubak's [...]
Monday afternoon is here and with it comes a track from Poland band, The Car is On Fire . Their story goes something like this: In the 1960s, the government of Poland attempted to secretly join the so-called “ Star Wars ” program. Alone in this endeavor, however and with confidence in short supply, it failed to live up to the standards set by the superpowers of the time. Though it did manage to send three astronauts into space. “The Car Is on Fire” team was to fulfill a project known by the code-name “Ombarrops!”. Their research [...]
The Car Is On Fire - Baby Baby One of the highlights of doing this is the odd msgs I receive. The Car Is On Fire - are Kuba, Jacek & Krzysztof from Warsaw, Poland who play an off-kilt power pop style of music with an experimental twang. Here’s one from their latest album Ombarrops! released last May. One of their more downtempo & introverted pieces. Download here . “I met the devil and he [...]
The Car Is On Fire is a three-piece pop outfit from Warsaw, Poland. The band was formed in early 2002 and soon began playing concerts. Their raw, furious power presented at live shows (as well as on the three-track demo) attracted considerable attention among some of the main figures of the Polish independent scene.This led to signing to EMI and in May 2005 the debut, self-titled album was

Let's play a game. It's a pretty simple game: think about all the things you know about Poland . Can you name a city in Poland? Alright, Warsaw, obviously, but can you name any others? Nope? Not even Krakow? You're slapping yourself for that one, aren't you? Alright, who's the Prime Minister of Poland? Don't know? Is it even a Prime Minister, or is it a President, or something else? Don't go and get on Wikipedia , there's no prize or anything, I'm just trying to prove a point. The point being that you really [...]

![[MP3] The Car Is On Fire: “Ombarrops!”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2226053_lg.jpg)
The Car Is On Fire is a four person act from Poland, a highly fertile barely existent indie music breeding grounds. Also, if there is such a thing as twee garage pop, these kids would define the genre. "Ombarrops" is the single from their latest album Ombarrops! which dropped earlier this year and was produced by John McEntire (Tortoise, The Sea and Cake, prod. Stereolab, The Fiery Furnaces). "Ombarrops!" can't help but make you grin. Listen to the variety of instruments in the background! (I use the term instruments lightly...) The song is in [...]
Nuovo spazio dedicato al viaggio al centro della musica dei vari paesi euopei. La zona dell'est tocca questa volta la Polonia, la Repubblica Ceca e la Slovacchia. Qui sotto, la copertina, per il resto cliccate sui titoli... Sembra Mariah Carey, nello stile e nell'aspetto. Ma si chiama Tamara Diane Wimer, in arte Isis Gee . Americana di nascita e di passaporto, risiede da tempo in Polonia per matrimonio e qui è fiorita la sua carriera musicale. "For [...]
