"Over the course of its existence, Uz
Jsme Doma has received all kinds of strange labels for the music that it
plays: intellectual punk, Slavic tone provocation, African music [!], orchestral
punk, ska, music influenced by Uriah Heep, Gregorian chorus, melodic avant
garde and plenty of others. The group has continually resisted being placed
into any of these categories, making use of an ever more diverse and expanding
range of mediums, which in their use generate a compact, unified, and
unmistakable effect.... They dedicate all their energy and imagination towards
the goal of deserving that most simple of labels: good and meaningful music."

An interview with Miroslav Wanek
. . . |
Since forming in Northern Czech border
town of
Teplice
in 1985, Uz Jsme Doma has weathered totalitarian restrictions, numerous line-up
changes, and relentless touring all over more than 25 countries, from Moscow
to San Francisco, including performances in war-torn Bosnia. The band's music,
lyrics, and visuals, through a juxtaposition of the beautiful and ugly, familiar
and strange, aims to provoke the listener to feel something genuine and new;
in the famous words of one of the band's inspirations, Franz Kafka, to be
"an axe for the frozen sea inside us."
