CF98

Born in Kraków in 2003, CF98 is part of the Polish punk scene and currently performs as a quartet led by singer Karolina Duszkiewicz. The band crafts a sound that sits between pop punk, skate punk, melodic hardcore and rock, delivering fast, melodic and direct songs—initially influenced by the Anglo-Saxon melodic punk aesthetic and evolving toward more assertive songwriting over the years. CF98’s early releases include Enjoy (2006) and Tiny Drum, Apple Juice, And A Virgin Island on The Magic Store (2008), before a shift to Polish with Nic do stracenia (2010) and 13 (2013). After several lineup changes, CF98 released Story Makers (2017) and the EPs Rotten To The Core (2019) and Dead Inside (2020), which coincided with a steadier presence on the European punk circuit, leading up to the albums This Is Fine (2022) and Stupid Punk (2025). CF98 have toured extensively in Poland, Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Ukraine and Japan, and have played festivals such as Jarocin, Mighty Sounds, SBÄM Fest and Punk Rock Holiday. Over the course of their career they have also shared bills with numerous punk rock and melodic hardcore acts, positioning the band firmly within an independent, international scene.
