Acid Drinkers "Strip Tease"

Acid Drinkers are a Polish thrash metal band formed in September 1986 in Poznań. Acid Drinkers were formed on 21 September 1986 consisting of Tomasz "Titus" Pukacki (vocals, bass) and Robert "Litza" Friedrich (guitar, vocals). The band's style is thrash metal, with influences of heavy metal and hardcore punk. Acid Drinkers are rated as one of the most important bands in the Polish thrash and heavy metal world.

Line-up soon expanded as Dariusz "Popcorn" Popowicz (lead guitar) and a drummer Piotr "Chomik" Kulk (shortly after replaced by Maciej "Ślepy" Głuchowski) joined the band. With this line-up the band worked on its own compositions; such as "Barmy Army", "Del Rocca" and "I Mean Acid". Within a month of the band's creation, Pukacki was called to join the army and left the band for two years. The others did not intend to idle their time away; Friedrich and Popowicz undertook a reactivation of the band named Slavoy. Soon both of them received a proposal to play for reputable groups: Popowicz from Wolf Spider, and Friedrich from Turbo.

Strip Tease is the third studio album by a Polish thrash metal band Acid Drinkers. It was recorded in Izabelin Studio near Warsaw. The album features fifteen tracks sung not only by Titus and Litza, but also Popcorn. It includes also two cover songs: the first one is an acoustic version of Metallica's classic, Seek & Destroy. It is sung by a Polish artist, Edyta Bartosiewicz. The second one is Menel Song/Alway's Look on the Bright Side of Life, a remake of a song by Monty Python. This song was a result of bands watching of Life of Brian and at first was not planned to be recorded. It is said, that one more cover song was intended: a reggae version of Slayer's Black Magic.
