“How much punk rock do you hear in Russia?”
Tigran, a kind reader from the former USSR sent in this rad selection of Soviet-era punk rock for your listening pleasure. Tigran writes, “It contains great ’80s Soviet punk bands that were really innovative and talented. They created a unique sound not even heard of in western punk at that time.” Take that, Mykel Board!
He also sent these great pics! Here’s the download. Playlist at the end of the post — наÑладитеÑÑŒ!
[Update from Tigran & Facebook readers: A few bands here are actually post-Soviet — Grazhdanskaya Oborona, Chimera and Nyurnberg are from the ’90s. Thanks nerds!]
