FPB, short for Fourth Price Band, is a Czech punk rock band formed in 1980 in Teplice by bassist, singer, and poet Miroslav Wanek and his friend Petr Růžička, who acted as the band's manager. The two were joined by drummer Milan Nový and later, guitarist Romek Hanzlík. The group moved through several lineups before splitting up in 1987. The fact of playing punk rock in the early 1980s in a Communist nation drew much attention to the band, but the group was also notable for integrating musical complexity and poetry into a traditional punk style. They often used different monikers to confuse the police, including FPB, Fourth Price Band, Čtvrtá cenová skupina, and Čtverecjeď. FPB briefly reformed in 1990 and again in 2008. They are sporadically active to this day.
