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 it's a cleaner version and maybe a newer version of the song).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!

Pirates R Us - Songs of Modern Piracy

I've been trying to find this album for years now. I highly recommend it if you enjoy pirate shanties, folk music, or amusing music about pirates. Perhaps there is a certain level of irony in pirating their music...

2. The Kotzebue Shuffle
3. The Ballad of Cap'n Crunch
4. Can You, Kevin Bacon?
5. KYAR Pirate Radio

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 :)
