Brand new songs coming 2025.

Hello there, GITA RA people!

Starting October 2024 I will be writing brand new GITA RA songs.

The lyrics and the riffs are the biggest problem (writer's block at the moment) - but I will overcome. Maybe it's not even writer's block, it's just that when GITA RA started in 2002, I was 17, and I never wondered "am I ripping off some riff?" "are those lyrics too simple?", but now, in 2024, at 39, I have those (and bigger) problems as a normal adult artist would.

Anyway, as soon as I have 10-12 brand new songs ready, I'll start recording them early 2025. I will use the old "classic" GITA RA drum sound. I will also record everything on a Fender electro-acoustic guitar, and later apply distortion and other effects.

The lyrics will be the usual GITA RA stuff, this time I will also probably add them to the album on Bandcamp.

Would love to release the new album on July 4 2025.

I will keep you posted.

Enjoy what is currently available on the GITA RA bandcamp page. I am particularly proud of the debut release "ACID HEAD". So do check it out if you haven't already! Stay loud as love.

2002-2024.

GITA RA was founded in 2002.

ACID HEAD, the debut album, was released on July 4 2022.

20 years after starting the band it has debuted on Bandcamp.

Now, it's 2024. 

22 Years of GITA RA.

4 New Albums on Bandcamp.

Which translates to 22 albums in 22 years.

Not bad, isn't it?

Nothing new in the works as of now, but there surely will be new music.
Hope it doesn't take another 20 years until the next one.
See you around!

On the Origin, Present, Future, and Discography of GITA RA.

GITA RA is sometimes mistakenly labeled "stoner rock". We are not from the Desert. We are from the High Rise. And instead of a sweaty drummer, we have a once-hi-tech drum machine.

In our roots we are much closer to noise rock (Butthole Surfers, Cows, Swans, Tar), grunge/sludge (Nirvana, Soundgarden, Melvins), and industrial. We also dig krautrock, psych rock, and space rock.

But our music is essentially slow punk with a noise/psych/grunge edge, with a drum machine which puts us dangerously in the Sisters of Mercy territory.

We never cared much about popularity.

We were born in the summer of 2002 in Górczyn - a district of Poznań, Poland. A district once summarized by A.J. as the Polish equivalent of Brooklyn.

We have never officially released any music until July 4, 2022, when "Acid Head", our proper debut album came out privately on bandcamp. This was our first entry into albums and the digital world. 20 years on we were still fresh and willing to release music.

In our archives, we had 18 complete longplays recorded over the years. We have decided to release them gradually into the digital void of the XXIst century.

Now, the archives are empty.

As of now A.J. is not interested in recording new GITA RA music, so for now, the discography of 18 albums available on bandcamp are all we have. It's really much, and not many bands have 18 albums to their credit.

However, in the future, there definitely will be new GITA RA music.

A.J. no longer lives at Górczyn, so the high rise is absent, and also he started working with a real sweaty drummer, and the drum machine has gone really hi-tech. So, the new music (if it appears!) will sound different.

We will keep you posted on this blog, which serves as the only (apart from bandcamp) official GITA RA presence on the WWW.

As of now, nothing is certain, only non-stop music coming from the brain garage is real. Brain Garage being GITA RA's codename for Via Kosmische, A.J.'s home studio. But A.J. is currently working on his solo projects.

So, let the hiatus begin, and there just -might- be news in late 2024.
