- Armia – polski zespół grający od 1984 r. punk rock i hardcore z wpływami innych gatunków (rock gotycki, reggae, metal, rock symfoniczny, jazz-rock) z wokalistą Tomaszem Budzyńskim. Wymieniany jako jeden z czołowych zespołów sceny niezależnej lat 80. XX w. Na początku lat 90., na fali popularności mocniejszych odmian rocka, odniósł sukces również na szerszej scenie muzycznej, zwłaszcza dzięki wydaniu płyty Legenda. Od połowy lat 90. stracił na popularności, jednak nadal w niektórych opisach określany jest najoryginalniejszym zespołem polskiej sceny niezależnej. Ze względu na wolty stylistyczne, jak również odbiegający od typowego dla sceny rockowej i alternatywnej przekaz, wzbudza także kontrowersje. Od połowy lat 90. XX w. jeden z czołowych przedstawicieli polskiego rocka chrześcijańskiego (pl)

| - Armia (English: Army) is Polish punk rock band founded in 1985 by Tomasz Budzyński, and Robert Brylewski. Armia is famous for its use of horn, which was unusual of punk rock bands in late 1980s and 1990s. With poetic (often inspired by philosophy and literature) lyrics, written by Budzyński, and evolving, creative music Armia has gained popularity and respect over the years, and its concerts now attract numerous fans of rock music. Armia's lyrics and cover art has frequently alluded to philosophy, literature and religion. The cover of the LP Legenda (A Legend) features Don Quijote and some lyrics were inspired by gnosticism. The title of the LP Czas i Byt (Being and Time) comes from Martin Heidegger's work Being and Time. Other sources of inspiration include the fiction of J. R. R. Tolkien, the Bible, The Divine Comedy and Samuel Beckett (Triodante), Tove Jansson's The Moomins, films like Werner Herzog's Aguirre, the Wrath of God or Marek Piwowski's Rejs. Although the basis of Armia's sound has always been punk rock, the band's changing musicians have brought with them numerous other styles and material: hardcore, heavy metal, keyboard riffs, sampling, and complex, quasi-orchestral arrangements. Therefore, each of the band's albums sounds different from the rest. (en)
