The most unusual domestic rock bands: list, photos, hits and facts

Despite the fact that many listeners don't perceive the Russian rock In the 70s-90s of the last century, there were exceptions to the rules. In the 70s and 90s of the last century on the domestic scene Many rock bands appeared, which differed from the majority of their colleagues: they were bright and interesting, they had their own definite style, their performances became an instant sensation, and their vocalists could give a head start to their foreign colleagues, because they were really very good. spectacular and talented!

These bands may have been out of the general domestic rock ensemble of those times, but if they were - the for the better! They had that zest, uniqueness and primitiveness that could not be confused with anything else. At a time when many of their colleagues were really openly imitated the WestThey set their own trends and attracted the attention of the general public with their own methods. And yes: with their originality, they attracted the attention of even foreign press! After all, it was impossible to accuse them of plagiarism, which means that we have a real phenomenon in front of us ! Today's article is dedicated to "off the beaten track" domestic rock bands, for which one is not ashamed at all - no matter how strange they sometimes seem...

Zero

Group "Zero." rose to fame pretty quickly. The name alone of their 1986 debut album. "The music of the brawling files." made it clear to the audience that they were extraordinary individuals with a great sense of irony and humour... In fact, it was so. Almost all songs of the band inexplicably raise the mood, contain ironic lines and, at the same time, touch upon acute social issues, relevant for this or that time. However, almost all of these issues are still relevant today.

Undeniably - the band's spectacular image was maintained by the frontman, Fyodor Chistyakovor as his fans have nicknamed him. "Uncle Fyodor.".

For a long time Chistyakov went on stage invariably in a telenya and with... accordion! It was a nonsense for Russian rock, but soon it became clear to the listeners and colleagues on stage that it was genius! Thanks to the bayan, the music of "Zero" acquired special, close to Russian people notes, soulfulness and encouraging motifs....

Gaza Strip

Another of the most interesting bands in Russian rock is "Gaza Strip.". Her phenomenon lies in her nationalities. Despite the fact that to this day listeners are ambivalent about the band's work (some adore it, others hate it), the music of "Sektor" is alive and relevant. The band's songs touch upon social, political and worldly issues that, after decades, still disturb the public....

Yuri Klinskikh (a.k.a. Hoy) became a legend of his time and genre, the father of the so-called "collective punk.". Many call him the most folk rocker in history, because with his songs, his lyrics - often swaggering, rude, but simple and accessible - he touched the heart of almost everyone.

King and Shute

Without "KISH" hard to imagine Russian rock. Their dark, fantastic and frightening, but at the same time romanticised and philosophical lyrics penetrate the soul of even the younger generation... What to speak of their devoted fans? Creativity "The King and Jester" The band's image itself was captivating, not to mention the lyrics. The very image of the band was captivating, not to mention the lyrics.

Many of the band's compositions, such as "The Fool and the Lightning." or "The Woodsman."remain classics. And, as you can tell, timeless.

Auctioneer

This band is famous for their bold experiments with sound! Whilst many of their scene mates tried to stick to the same line in terms of sound, "Auctioneer." boldly stepped across genres, deftly jumping from new wave and art rock to postpunk and jazz! Here's to daring, "unboring"and for the energy the band gave to their fans at live concerts, this project became a favourite of millions.

Almost any performance by the band, if you watch a recording of it today, has been very fresh and trendy for its time. There was style, and humour, and energy, and soulfulness - where without it?

NOM

Perhaps, this band is inferior to all the above presented ones in terms of popularity and importance. Nevertheless, many listeners remember about this bright band from Leningrad. Their songs were characterised by a vivid plot, cheerful sound! The lyrics were light and accessible, in some places meaningless... But what clips! It's hard to forget.

The participants themselves "NOM." called their work ironic rock. But despite its simplicity and, as it may seem at first glance, absurdity, the project manages to stay afloat to this day!
