From punk to hard-rock, from pop-metal to ballads in the rock-modern manner – however, the features so unnoticeably flow from one to another that they are not worth clinging tight to. The main thing is that energy of these guys is quite evident and nice. And all the rest – is already just a matter of taste.

Emotional, very energetic presentation – quite hard, but also very melodious music with inventive findings – varied vocal. Plus – texts, in which not only rhyme and emotion dwell, but also a thought. Often ambiguous – and, by the way, not so angry as its sound realization.

Each performance of the group is just a violent throw out of superfluous emotions, ideas, impulses from within each listener. And, however surprising it might appear, – a powerful generator of calm. However, it is special calm – after such vigorous tension, it is not that you do not want anything, but simply you have no force to want something.

Personally for me, Ukrainian rock music began in its time with two albums. And the first of them was "Kraina Mriy" by "VV" group. This was a separate, absolutely specific madness – both before, and after it was already quite different.

The long expected has finally happened – "VV" has republished its works of the past years. Cult one – you won’t call that anything but that. The album "Muzika" is something considerably more than just a music product or some high-quality goods. This is an idea, embodiment, revolution, hope, and joy, and a thousand of things in one.

The group "VV" has recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of their creative life – and have released a new album. The age is respectable not only for a group – even for a person it is already quite a lot. One can – and should – sum up some results and draw conclusions. Actually, the album "There Were the Days" has become this kind of summarizing.

The new album by VV represents recording of the live performance that took place in spring 2006, within the powerful event organized by Oleg Skrypka – Rock-Sich festival. To be brief, this is not only the space of music – this is a whole rich cultural dimension. Which, however, is still saturated with sincere music energy – and mightily saturates with it all those who hear. And have you heard already?

The new work by VV managed to cause a lot of agitation even before the official release – and that was absolutely deserved. This refers both to the song, and the video for it – Oleg Skrypka and his friends are not afraid of subjecting themselves to creative experiments, that is why the video "Chio Chio San" for many became a real surprise..

..the debut disc by the group "Dalai Lama" is a mouthful of cheerful hope indeed. Not least of all – due to diversity of the material. Dalai Lama switches from alternative rock to grunge, mixes up punk and disco, changes the internal tension of trip-hop for the seeming transparency of post-rock, quotes funk inside out, just has fun with the sound – and does it confidently.

Attention! Now we offer to you discs from the first release – only they contain, as a hidden bonus, a video for the song "Bonnie and Clyde"."DVS" group already releases the third album in Ukraine – and one can say that the music concept of the group remains stable. "DVS" does what one can outline with a rather simple definition – "honest rock". In spite of anything...

Alternative music? – yes, this is it. Sympho-rock – yes, moreover, already now the group feels very confident in this sense, works at a large scale. Gothic? – yes, this is exactly the word that is the first to occur, if one speaks about the atmosphere as a whole, and about some texts in particular. Melodious heavy metal? – this, obviously, was the basis from which what we hear now grows.

"Dymna Sumish" sounds saturated, driving, rough – but also surprisingly pure. To the extent that it is in general possible in grunge, sure. One can also hear well all instrumental lines, and the lyrics. And considering what great semantic, emotional, social charge the group's texts contain – this transparency in sounding turns into a very substantial virtue.

And in connection with the debut it was interesting then – whether DDD will manage to preserve in the studio variant the reckless drive that distinguishes their live sounding? Well, the answer appears definite: yes!

It easily combines the somewhat nervous manner of indie rock with the best displays of brit-pop, with cool emotionality of Scandinavian underground.

"Karna" did prepare a conceptual product – having no casual or superfluous details either in the external design, or in the music content. Have you noticed that the Sun consisting of the light of two Moons is depicted on the cover – the merry and the sad ones? And did you pay attention to that the third component of this Sun is – Shade?.. Thus, even trifles matter.

"Kryhitka" is now one of the highest-quality and most successful indie-rock groups of Ukraine, this is just a fact. And "Recipe", in its turn, has become one of the most interesting Ukrainian releases in this direction during the entire recent year.

Nobody would call this light music – that is for sure. Concerning the vocal – Olga Skrypova is responsible for it in the group. Stylistically, this is modern alt-rock – in which the emphasis is put not so much on hard sounding as on melodiousness and variety of arrangements. As a result, in spite of its belonging to the "heavy" direction – music by the group is quite easy for perception.

Artistic tools of alternative music, expressive male vocal with a number of emotional tints, introduction into the body of the songs of singing in the authentic manner, extraordinarily appropriate sounding of folk winds – all of that creates a very saturated, literally electrified atmosphere.

Motor’rolla became virtually the first Ukrainian rock group with its own DJ as a participant. Moreover, the group, as they put it, keeps the character – it stays irreconcilable to the unfriendly reality. At that, this irreconcilability refers both to some sheer social phenomena and events, and internal ones.

..the group creates its compositions on the verge of post-rock, post-metal, but – this music is performed without a vocal. Moreover, the group has an extended instrumental composition due to the violin – and this is a very substantial bonus.

There is no pursuit for the sake of acknowledgement – and there is no temptation of observing style limitations, but there is the ability to make it maximally as exact as you consider necessary. Sheer rock music grows from this root, creativity not for the sake of freedom, but as its direct result.

We wanted to introduce this album here for several reasons at once. First, it has an interesting general concept – as can be seen from its name already, the album is devoted to the matters that for many decades have been helping people to kill – both each other, and oneself. Secondly – these texts do touch with their merciless straightforwardness, frankness of evaluations, bitter irony.

Sashko Polozhinskyi, the group’s frontman, once called himself a tender “hooligan”, if I am not mistaken.

He, sure, matures – but this for some reason does not prevent him from looking and seeing, noticing and being engaged, understanding and – speaking. Loudly, brightly, sometimes recklessly.

Thus, with a noticeable shade of irony and even sarcasm – however, without cynicism..

Although the new disc also contains quite a bit of historical alliterations, they are, however, rather conditional, poetic.

But the period of silence has passed, and Tol has not only returned to performances, but has also presented fresh material.

The guys from the Chernigiv group ShyZO define their own music as sweet rock. At least, it refers to the debut album, which you now see in front of you – the musicians quite consciously decided to sweeten it, so that the way to the audience did not become too difficult and thorny.

But they have won over time and have appeared with a new composition and new music, which was defined as sad aggressive metal. Some say that they have transformed doom metal, others – that SHEcrIES have abandoned it completely.
