History

The band was founded in autumn 1982 in Słupsk. Its first live appearance took place on January 8, 1983, on elimination for youth festival. The band failed to advance to this festival due to problems with censorship.

In 1985, Karcer appeared on Jarocin Festival, and managed to play on the main stage. The same year, due to success at Jarocin, the band appeared on few other festivals. One year later in Jarocin, Karcer achieved position in top ten bands.

In 1991, the band realised its first record in Gdynia. The day after the recording Karcer left the country to play a tour in Switzerland.

After three years of concerting in London pubs, Wschód jest pełen słońca was released. The record was quite popular among Polish punk fans, and in 2002 it was re-released. In 2002, the album, Nic nikomu o niczym was released.
