History
**ATOMEK-TOMEK: 23 years in the making**
In November 2002, HOLY JOE ROCK AND ROLL met three Polish roommates; all named Tomek; during a life-changing trip to Warsaw, Krakow and Nowy Sącz, Poland. What started as a chance encounter quickly grew into a lasting friendship built on shared humor, deep conversations, and a passion for music.
Over the next two decades, each followed their own path, building successful careers and staying in touch across borders. But the dream of creating something together never faded. Now, after 23 years, that dream becomes reality with their debut album—a bold celebration of Poland’s history, struggle, beauty, and unforgettable food.
Honorable mention to Tommy-12GA, whose support made the first trip to Poland possible. He was also the business partner of Tomek-Dzida at the time.
Meet the Band
TOMEK-DZIDA
Known as “The Spear”, TOMEK-DZIDA was the one who first invited HOLY JOE to Poland. As the spiritual anchor and visionary behind the group, Dzida’s role is more than musical as he shapes the band’s sound and philosophy with unwavering clarity and focus. The heartbeat of the ATOMEK-TOMEK collective.
TOMEK-SCOTCH
A name earned the night he was the only one brave enough to sip Scotch brought by HOLY JOE at a university party, TOMEK-SCOTCH blends old-school swagger with modern Rap intensity. His verses hit hard and fast, igniting every track with a fiery edge and unstoppable flow.
TOMEK-STRETCH
Towering both in height and rhythm, TOMEK-STRETCH channels the heavy metal legacy of his Wrocław roots into a fierce drumming style. With backup vocals that lift and punch, Stretch is the sonic backbone of the band’s dynamic live shows and studio sessions alike.
ZuZi
Fresh from her solo debut "Life in This Time", ZuZi joined ATOMEK-TOMEK to lend her soulful, melodic voice to standout tracks like “Different Languages” and “Folk-Beat.” Her presence brings emotional depth and a captivating contrast that bridges the group’s hard edge with harmonic beauty.
HOLY JOE ROCK AND ROLL
Vocalist, lyricist, and the firestarter behind the mic, HOLY JOE ROCK AND ROLL brings his raw energy from the USA straight into the heart of Poland. With roots in solo performance and international acts, Joe’s gritty vocals and provocative lyrics have become the driving voice of ATOMEK-TOMEK. His move to Poland marked the rebirth of his artistic vision—louder, bolder, and borderless.
