The first album

As the band had completed its line-up the time came to record the debut album entitled ''

Oi! Młodzież ''Oi! Młodzież'' (Polish for "Oi! Youth") is the debut album of Polish street punk band The Analogs. Released only as an audio cassette, as the Rock'n'roller label did not release CDs then. The album had been re-released as a split CD under th ...

''. While recording it (in "Kakadu" studio,

), the band was simultaneously negotiating with Rock'n'roller productions, especially with its boss - Zdzisław Jodko. Being one of Czekała's longtime friends, Jodko willingly agreed to release the album under Rock'n'roller label. Meanwhile, the band had just been able to give itself a name: The Analogs. The album was recorded at the same time as an album of Dr. Cycos. On the first day both bands recorded music, and the second day was dedicated to vocals and mixing. Just after the recording session had ended and the concert of both groups had been played, Czekała's troubles with justice started. In spring 1996 album had finally been released and was able to get a positive response among local alternative music fans. During Czekała's absence bassist position was held by Szymon Gebel and later by Artur Szmit.

Concert with D.O.A. and anti-Analogs independent press releases

Soon after the first album was released the band started playing numerous concerts, the most famous and controversial being a gig played together with a

punks whose ideas were influential on the Polish punk scene of the day. This attitude combined with the DOA concert riots caused many

underground media to start an onslaught on the band, mostly counter-productive as calls for boycott significantly contributed to an increase in band's popularity. On the other hand, the band received considerable support from the ''Garaż'' (

for ''garage'') magazine.

The beginning of an international career

In 1997 three songs by The Analogs (mistakenly described as ''Analogics'' on the cover) appeared on the ''Oi! it's a world invasion'' compilation released by

Next records

The release of the second album, titled '' Street Punk Rulez!'', was strongly encouraged by Jodko, surprised by the huge success of the debut album. The band was in poor condition, especially because Czekała was still under arrest, whereas Adamowicz began his interest in numerous other music genres. The album was recorded in the same studio as the previous one, with most of the lyrics written by the imprisoned Czekała. The material was short, the quality bad and many songs were the new versions from the first album. Despite this, the album could certainly be named a success, and some songs reached the level of band's most popular, and are still played live by the band. It was the first Analogs album released on CD. Just after recording of ''Street Punk Rulez!'' was complete, Adamowicz left the band. In 1999 Czekała recorded some songs in Kakadu Studio. This recording session was resulted as the promo CD attached to "Garaż". This magazine's issue included a band's interview, where new members were introduced. The Analogs played in this set until recordings of the third album, '' Hlaskover Rock''. Before the album was released, Grzegorz Król had had an alcohol problem, what affected his performances on stage. As the pressure within the band grew he was forced to leave the group. The place of second guitarist was taken by Artur Szmit, who had previously been exchanging Czekała with
