Wonderful guide. Toothpaste is an utter waste of money. Refined sugars are shit. All you need is nature. (WARNING! May contain a bunch of "hippy shit")

Country: Russia

Pronounced "Chernozyom"... I don't really know how to describe this band. They're sort of the closest thing I've found in the Russian punk scene to anarcho-punk, yet they maintain a very obscure, avant garde quality to them. I actually don't know what to call them... Indie doesn't exactly feel fitting, but neither do other genres.

I highly suggest giving track 13 a listen to. It's the song that really won my heart with this band (and to note it's not the original track 13 on the album... it's a cleaner version and maybe a newer version of the song). Also, thanks to AntiPunk for providing this album!

Ива Нова - S/T


The Russian incarnation of folk-punk is much different than the American styles, so even though these girls kick ass, they may not be the type of folk-punk you are used to. Their sound is similar to their former band, Бабслэй, but Ива Нова (Iva Nova) is more produced and has a more serious sound. Again, this album may be pretty different than what you're used to, but it's fairly fantastic!

  11. The White Half-Moon
  12. Young Cossak
  13. Friday
  14. Further Than Far

Бабслэй - Елдырина слобода


Very interesting all women folk-punk band from Russia. I've learned that Russian incarnations of folk-punk are very, very different than American incarnations, as these girls sound like a mixture of Gogol Bordello, Bjork, and a kind of World/Inferno Friendship Society circus-esque music style. I'm pretty sure that the story goes that they broke up and a few of them reformed into Iva Nova (Ива Нова). Note that I may not have rewritten the track names correctly from their English-phonetic spelling, so any of you Russian-speakers out there want to make any spelling corrections, by all means please do :)
