Револвер - "Space rock" from Russia


"Марс-Марс, я - Плутон"
Revolver is an interesting group again. Call their music whatever you want. If it's not your cup of tea then so be it. But. Hey! It's not boring. I'd label them as some sort of strange psychedelic electronic pop rock. If that label doesn't crack you up yet, what does? Try them! There's a good amount of mp3s on their webpage. Although it seems some links are (temporarily?) broken, but, well, try yourself. You're the clicker champ! Additionally to the songs there's also visual data!

Троллейбус №5
If you can't access mp3s on their official website due to broken links or other problems I provide you with two links to songs of them now here.

Маша и медведи - Russian Rock


The band маша и медведи is finally again a great example of how good and loveable Russian rock can be. They produce great rock music with a wonderful female lead singer voice and what makes them so amable is that --in good Russian tradition-- they offer all their songs on their webpage to be downloaded for free! That's music that is produced for you! Made to be listened to! For the love of music! Rock on!

Good music? Russia delivers... (Markscheider Kunst, Skal'pel)

First band to be presented is: Markscheider Kunst from Saint Petersburg in Russia. Yes, I don't like Myspace either, but check theirs. Do it for the music, you can download some songs there, and they're really great, I don't just say it. They play some sort of funky Russian ska :)
You should also pay their official website a visit; would get you to watch some splendid videos in the media section.

Second band is Skalpel; not hard to figure out they also play some sort of ska. So if that's a style you like, no way you wouldn't want to check them out.
(if you are doing web-research on them beware of name similarities with some Polish jazz band)

Seryoga - Russian folk pop (hip hop)


Seryoga - Chernyj Bumer

Seryoga (real name Russian: Сергей Васильевич Пархоменко, Sergej Vasil'evič Parhomenko; Belarusian: Сяргей Васільевіч Пархоменка, Siarhiej Vasiljevič Parchomienka, born 1976) is a next generation Russian language musician with growing popularity in urban areas.

Born in Gomel, Belarus growing up in tough neighborhood he is mixing a unique combination of Russian folk music (chastushki) that features fast pronunciation of lyrics with modern lyrics appealing to youth and beats — he quickly rose on the Russian charts with his first single Чёрный Бумер (Chyorny Bumer Black BMW). Initially having background in boxing, he decided to express discontent of growing up in poor neighborhood and life hardships through his art. When he first appeared on Russian MTV, he was branded the "Slavic Eminem". But his true rise to fame came when he got nation-wide recognition in the Russian Factory of Stars television program where many other new generation Russian pop musicians are coming from. He currently works and resides in Kiev, Ukraine.
