Mr. Pollack – "Stand Up And Run" video out now on Youtube

As recently announced, Polish rock band Mr. Pollack has teamed with Metal Mind Productions, which will result in the official release of the album "Black Hawk" on the May, 22nd in Europe and June, 9th in USA (via MVD).

Their brand new video to the track "Stand Up And Run" is now available on Metal Mind Productions' Youtube channel. You can watch it in THIS location.

They've already played shows in China, USA, Germany, Belgium and in the United Arab Emirates. Nigel Kennedy and Grzegorz Skawiński are among their fans and the band's musicians themselves are considered the best instrumentalists in their respective fields. Jacek Polak was dubbed the "Paganini of the guitar" by the media, while the drummer Grzegorz Polak is the winner of numerous competitions and drummer of the year awards in the press.

Mr. Pollack consists of two brothers - Jacek (guitar) and Grzegorz Polak (drums) - and Bartłomiej Filip (bass), who started their musical career in a choir. After a dozen-odd years, they formed a rock band and, in 1990, recorded their first album "QŃ". Jacek Polak showed his outstanding guitar technique on that album and was subsequently called one of the best Polish guitarists. The band went on to record a number of albums, including - to their fans' great surprise - one album comprising rock versions of classical compositions ("Air on 6 Strings" released in 2000, featuring, among others, compositions by Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, and Rimsky-Korsakov's "Flight of the Bumblebee"). The CD was very popular and won Jacek the title of the "Paganini of the guitar". The band played shows all over the world, while the musicians themselves won a number of awards. In 1997, Jacek was voted Poland's new guitar hope in "Gitara i Bas" magazine and, in 2002, he won "The Greatest Undiscovered Guitar Talent" award in the USA. In 2011, Grzegorz won the 3rd place at the international drum festival "Drum Off" organized by Melody House Instruments. The "Black Hawk" album was already promoted during the band's Chinese tour.
