WCIAS (formerly "We Call It a Sound") is a band formed in 2007 in Kębłowo – a village that lays in the west of Poland in the region called Wielkopolska. The core of the group has been a twin brother duo: Filip and Karol Majerowski.

They have came a long road from being inspired by almost all music genres to stay now with the traditional music of Polish village. So far they’ve released 4 albums: Animated (2010), Homes & Houses (2012), Trojpole (2014) and Hejnaly (2017).

The latest album is still fresh and shows the new face of the band – it contains their vision of Polish folk music, very minimalistic, created mainly by voices, trumpet and trombone, as brothers have the experience of playing in a brass orchestras through almost 15 years. Their inspiration comes from various regions of Poland: from Wielkopolska's (Great Poland’s) bagpipes, through small brass bands from eastern Poland to voice singing from almost all regions. It’s not a fake - they are still learning from old masters and in parallel playing pure, „in crudo“ music of Polish village in other bands. The group was playing on the biggest Polish festivals and won a couple of awards, but they’re still more interested in defining a new sound than looking for commercial success.

At the moment the members of the group live in Warsaw and Poznań.
