Why has Russia become the most exciting place musically in the world? How come raw energy explodes out of this former iron clad growling bear? Maybe there lies the answer and the reason? It was a state controlled, media censored, draconian empire and now….?
This is a band I want to be in! They are wild, have a mission and know how to throw a party. Yes it is 1970’s punk (sort of) but so what. I want to be in there, sweat like a pig and drink vodka.
I have been listening to them for a few days now and I can’t wipe the smile off my face, a smile that is of admiration, not of amusement.
The Uragany – a garage punk band from Volgograd (Russia). The band was formed more than two years ago. Combining unrestrained energy of the 60’s garage rock with punk rock aggression and nonconformism The Uragany play songs on the issues of our days: problems of modern mans estrangement, political rogues, love and sex in the modern urban society and about opposition to dominant influence of mediocrity in our life. The Uragany like legendary rock music opposition of 60’s and 70’s make rock’n’roll DANGEROUS again!
