Polak are brothers Piotr Fijalkowski (ex- singer/ guitarist with Adorable) and Krzys Fijalkowski (of the Bardots), who live in Brighton and Norwich respectively and unrespectably. They were formed on a bored Boxing Day (December 26) in a pub near the family home. The half-drunken idea became a half-drunken reality, with the recording "Not Listening," Polak's first, and to date only, track recorded in Brighton, England.
