Orlík was a folk influenced Czech oi! and skinhead band founded in 1988 by Daniel Landa and David Matásek. The band had a short career, releasing only two albums, 1990's Oi! and 1991's Demise. Orlík has been criticized for its racial overtones, targeting specifically the gypsy minority in the Czech Republic. The band denied these accusations and claimed that their music was misunderstood. After the band broke up, frontman Daniel Landa went on to have a successful solo career, releasing twelve albums between 1993 and 2004.
