RE: Three Tune Tuesday #179 .:. Leningrad (pt.1)
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
They seem a really interesting band and the videos are quite impressive. Somehow the first song was reminding me of Maroon 5 - Sugar until the mafia part and torture! LOL
The second tune is quite surprising that it was allowed to play when it is mocking the Russian culture and innuendos of Putin. I am surprised it would be popular as most people are proud of their cultures.
Great selection for part1! :)

NB. This band dare to use elements of other musical sources (arrangements, style, etc.), so it is not surprising if some of their songs remind you of something. I would say they must remind you something ... smth good, and even classic! Ska standards, for example. I just do not know the original sources of specific songs to point fingers at... but I can confidently guess that there exist... many!
P.S.
And, yes, the band is indeed banned in many places. Their videos are not shown on TV and their songs are not played on the radio, even their concerts in Moscow were banned for over 10 years. However, the main reason for these bans is that their songs use a lot of completely obscene language :) so thanks to YouTube, it gave the band real freedom of speech, and we can enjoy these videos without any TV.
