Willa Kosmos

They took their name from a bed and breakfast, but Willa Kosmos’s music isn’t exactly conducive to relaxation. They grew up listening to artists like Eminem, INXS and Nirvana, while their songs are combination of punk, rap, and noise rock. YouTube commenters describe their sound as “the vibe of early tracks by Cool Kids of Death” – a comparison welcomed by the Poznań-based musicians, who nevertheless add that they’d “rather just be called Willa Kosmos.” They’ve earned every word of that praise with their debut album, Wszystko będzie dobrze (2020), and their victory at the 2024 Jarocińskie Rytym Młodych competition for new bands. They’re now working on a new noisily melodic album with a bigger lineup. We can’t wait for them test it out live at the OFF Festival.
