Keep Rockin' is a progressive metal band from Poland, formed in 2008.
Everything began in 2008 when Remigiusz Bregier (guitars) and Janusz Janicki (drums), who played in a couple of bands together, and had known each other for quite some time, decided to start a new project. They used to greet each other with the words “keep rockin’!” instead of more casual regards-type of expression when exchanging e-mails, thus the name of the band quickly became obvious.
Upon finding people who completed the lineup - Marcin Wojciechowski (vocals), Piotr Majerski (guitar) and Piotr Gierszewski (bass), Keep Rockin’ started writing music and played its first shows. In 2009 they already had their first victory at a local battle of the bands competition - ‘Struna’, held in their hometown of Włocławek.

In 2010 the band entered the Islands Studio in Inowrocław (run by Quidam keyboard player Zbigniew Florek) and recorded a five-song EP. The following year they won another competition - Rock Piotrcovia Festival 2011.

Keep Rockin’ started off as a typical rock band. They played heavy, riff-oriented and rather short songs. As years passed, the music matured and began to include some proggy elements. The songs were getting lengthier, and the arrangements became enriched. In the late 2011 Keep Rockin’ was ready to record their first album.

Within the first three years the lineup went through a couple of changes. Maciej Podkomorzy played bass briefly and upon his departure was replaced by Aleksander Kruszewski. In the home stretch of the recording session, Janusz convinced his older brother - Grzegorz - to join the band on keyboards.

Keep Rockin' was previously rejected by the Heavy Prog team.  However I have added it to the Progressive Metal team.  I found a few Youtube postings of two of their previous albums, but could not find a link for their new album.  Do you have one?
