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.

In spite of the love and respect of the group participants for works by "Beatles" stated in the autobiography, this is not about copying, imitation – and it is good. Perhaps, the only common feature is that the "Asymmetry of Emotions" also plays pop-rock. Maybe, with the prefix "indie". And, of course, very emotional.

His audience is growing if not with the speed of a lightning, then – incessantly. At that, in three directions simultaneously. One – the listeners who came to love his own songs. Second – the audience who keep track of his theatrical life (i.e. "Theater 19"). Third – readers who value interesting poetry.

Well, here is finally the long-expected album by the new "Boombox" – new in the aspect of sounding. The trick is that this is material recorded in a rock manner. For this reason the work has the name "All Inclusive" – because everything is done here with the help of "live" instruments, and in particular – at participation of a real rhythm section.

Virtually every second song is a real long ballad with a number of details, nuances in the story. And if they were performed with a full-fledged rock composition and the proper arrangement – this would be songs that are10-15 minutes long, or even more. But here, in the acoustic version, everything is compact, expressed, clear.

"The Echo of Kryivka" is an author's project by the poet and musician, a known bard Olexander Smyk. We have more than once represented his albums at our store before – the audience has long known Smyk as a truly interesting, intelligent author. Well, and the project's implementation in life was undertaken by Volodymyr Verminsky together with the group "Accent" created by him several years ago.

"Vij" is one of a few groups that really know how to keep silent. In a qualitative, saturated way. They say little, but to the point – and then silence falls down for a long time.

...A sort of an album of ballads. If you do not listen attentively – it seems very balanced. But when you are attentive – that is when the second bottom opens: it is an album of deep feelings, bright experiences and, at the same time, quiet reflections. Not speculations on a topic, but exactly – individual reflections.

As far as we know – this is the first album in Ukraine (at least, among officially released ones) dedicated to bikers. Dedicated not only formally, but also thematically. However, the disc "Biker Sich" has been released just recently – but it was a collection of favorite songs, not the author's dedication album. A significant difference.

Strange as it may appear, but you’ll find a good deal of novelties on the disc – the songs that have never been released before. And personally I consider them to be just wonderful songs. Anyway, the famous works also warm the heart. This is like it often happens with cronies whose close relationship doesn’t depend on circumstances. All this makes not a compilation but an album of a full value with incredibly crystal, lyrical and high spirits.

This is simultaneously the simplest and the most complicated format – there is nothing but the guitar and voice, and you either sound or you'd better not even start... "Acoustics" is the last real album by Vasyl Gontarsky, the fifth one. No others will follow. If everyone left behind so fair traces – the land would shine under our feet...

So, the third album. The one who tracks it from the beginning – probably, will notice that the group does not change masks but sticks in its motion with a certain direction. And that is why one can see very well that the sounding becomes more confident and, at the same time, transparent – in other words, quality noticeably increases..

On the one hand – the drive to which everybody has got used to due to "Borsch", but at a bit different angle. On the other – the careful arrangement of the music: there is now less of the punk roughness, while a strange "fashionable" gloss has appeared there instead. On the third – Zdorenko in his texts does not step back from the previously invented recipe: merging of the comical and marginal.

The very first sounds with which this disc starts inspire quite a stable association with rock music of the 1960s and 1980s – actually, a pleasant association. But – and this is also pleasant – the style palette of the album is varied and saturated enough. That is, this is rock, in which there is roll, and hard, and art, and atmospheric poetry and just poem...

Kolo Hmar is a Kyiv group playing pure rock, without any superfluous stratifications. Currently, we do not have too many of such groups – however, it seems to be quite easy to explain that. Here, you need to create with the help of, so to say, simple tools complicated, voluminous pictures – that is why each of the group's participants must sound as distinctly as possible.

"Made in YuA" is not just a dedication to UA, although it is here that Yury Andruhovych acted not only as the author of the lyrics, but also as a full-fledged participating performer.

It looks hardly possible that the name "Mehanichny Apelsyn" ("Clockwork Orange") directly relates to the oeuvre by Burgess: otherwise, it would be quite possible that the group would play a mixture of sort of glam-trash-heavy-punk – wouldn't it? Although that's not a fact. However, "Mehanichny Apelsyn" performs a different – maybe, classic – mixture: blues, rock-and-roll and big beat.

Even their texts alone would already be quite sufficient to advantageously stand out against the majority – no doubt. This, if you wish, already really looks like rock poetry. Well, and plus – actually the music. Two bright constituents perfectly merge in it. On the one hand, this is powerful rock. On the other – warm freshness arising due to participation of not quite ordinary, as for rock, instruments matters here – a pan-pipe, accordion, domra.

"Opium" honestly searches for its own rock language in texts and in music, and this is nice. In our opinion, "Opium" plays simple classic rock – and this, you should agree, is not that easy. Besides, the song lyrics do not resemble a simple set of rhymes and meter at all – the experience lived through, live thoughts and feelings are obviously inlaid into these words.
