9 kalibr. Mamma-mia.
Actually, it is the title song of the album they brought to the group its first more or less wide popularity. This one – and also "Marusya". And they were first performed not that long ago – and here an album has already come just in time. Perfectly – very operatively. However, the character of the music obviously makes such speed natural – at least, it does not cause surprise when energetic music promotes itself not less energetically. This, in the end, is good – because less energetic but more "format" ones do have someone to promote them, at that there are surprisingly many of those interested to do that. Strange – because what is the sense of multiplying twin projects that differ among themselves not so much due to music, not so much due to the vocal even, but rather to the image, the color and length of hair, etc?.. Is it really possible to earn something from this cloning – to say nothing about satisfaction? It is considerably more interesting when only desire and energy are obvious, and no style frames are imposed yet – which we observe in the case of 9 CALIBER. 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.

AntytilA. Hello. /digi-pack/.


It seems that Antytila have finally discovered and tamed their wave: the new album is almost entirely composed of "blockbusters" – one imagines the picture where these songs sound at a stadium scale.

Fiolet. True Love. /mini-pack/.


What has changed since the release of this album? It immediately strikes that the sound of Fiolet has become noticeably heavier – and this, along with the rather significant insertions of electronics, creates a slightly different background for perception of the lyrics. Not that it is more aggressive, but there is a nuance..

Patrycia. Lechu. /digi-pack/. (I'm Flying)


The first thing that catches the eye is the musicians' regard to the pop rock aesthetics of the 1980's and the 2000's. It's not about copying as such – but this almost-retro flavor works as a properly selected spice: it helps to open up the base. Well, and the base is the ability to create good melodies and expressive arrangements..
Domestic price: 208.60UAH, International price: $14.90USD

Fiolet. Pisni lyubovi na poli boyu. /digi-pack/. (Songs of Love on the Battlefield)


"Fiolet" traditionally offers listening to not only pleasant music, but also – smart, witty lyrics. About what is and what will be. About that everything passes. About that everything changes – and remains invariably-incomprehensibly-incredible. Even when it hurts. However...

YouCrane. Again. /digi-pack/.


The second album by YouCrane clearly shows that the band has found its own voice, and that this voice is easy distinguished from the crowd. A certain very nice mix of romance with a touch of the 1980s, latent lo-fi-aesthetics, healthy carelessness in intonations – all of those create a new fairy tale atmosphere..
Domestic price: 208.60UAH, International price: $14.90USD

Epolets. Dogma.


The new disk combines songs about a variety of facets of our life – there is blues and loneliness, exciting gospel and sex, punk and showing off, trip-hop and anger, poignant tango and war. The world is changing every day, dogmas keep replacing each other, but we hope...

Social Classes. Unplugged. (2CD). /mini-pack/.


...a semi-acoustic recording that allows one to fully experience the inner poetics of the space. The guitar, percussion, bass, occasionally keyboards – well, and, sure, singing (complemented with recitative). Actually, one does not need anything more – at least, one does not perceive any shortage.
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Fiolet. Vigvam. /digi-pack/. (Wigwam)


The first thing I noticed when I started playing the album was that I was intently listening to the lyrics. It's nice because it does not happen that often. This is important – because not only the sound matters, because semantic vibrations also weigh, and emptiness is very different from pauses. Moreover, one immediately notices the quality..

Opium. Pochuttya i Medali. /digi-pack/. (Feelings and Medals)


It's nice that there are still bands that undertake performing just rock, without flirting with unclear definitions of style, without the pop aplomb or pretended mystery. And the cello as part of it does not interfere. Just honest music, straight and simple (but not empty) lyrics – you know, not that much is needed...
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

WhaTsup. Yak vsi. /digi-pack/. (As Everyone)


In fact, this album is a folder containing two debut pieces at once. The main one – from the WhaTsup project, while another third of the volume is their side project "Fekaladka". Well, Kharkiv musicians like doing it differently from the rest – thus, the title of the album can be viewed as banter...
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

YouCrane. Koly my budem znajomi. /digi-pack/. (When We are Acquainted)


At first glance – YouCrane just perform quality pop-rock with a variety of electronic admixtures. But, as known, the devil is in detail – to which the band definitely pays a lot of attention. Therefore, that results in a rather peculiar and interesting atmosphere, in which the positive charge does not block the sun for indie moods.
Domestic price: 348.60UAH, International price: $24.90USD

Nedaremno. Stezhky do tebe. /digi-pack/. (Trails to You)


"NedaremnO" tries to sound different. Not too "trimmed" – and it has its advantages, because lack of syrup makes the taste much more honest. There is some special drive – that young groups had in abundance 10 to 20 years ago, but which many of the current "novices" often lack.
Domestic price: 222.60UAH, International price: $15.90USD

O.Torvald. Acoustic. /digi-pack/.


...the sound appears really clear, light, and sometimes almost fragile. Actually, it is possible to compare – because, in addition to new songs, you'll find here several songs from the previous album "In You". This is not yet homely comfort – but this is not desperate thunder of large scenes either, definitely.
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Vpershe Chuyu. PryamoTok. /digi-pack/. (ForwardFlow)


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.

Asymmetry of Emotions. Setalight.


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.
Domestic price: 152.60UAH, International price: $10.90USD

Role Model. Scylla and Charybdis. /digi-pack/.


Although musicians of the group define their style as pop rock – we should note that "rock" here weighs obviously more than "pop". To the extent that in the sounding of "Role Model" it is possible to discover, for example, elements of punk rock in the American style...
Domestic price: 222.60UAH, International price: $15.90USD

Opium. Molysja na mene. (Pray to Me)


"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.

Dalai Lama. the sixth turtle.


..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.

Znak Vody. Misto tvojikh sniv. (City of Your Dreams)


Just rock. Lyrical, young, sometimes dreamy – but, the main thing, honest. One never stops being surprised that during the recent years appearance of this sort of groups has become really rare – therefore one is happy to see every fresh figure. The more so – when, as in the case of Znak Vody, everything develops harmoniously.
Domestic price: 152.60UAH, International price: $10.90USD

Motor'rolla. Kol‘orovi sny. (de luxe edition). (Colored Dreams)


Motor'rolla, disregarding obstacles, has managed to make a step ahead in quality – it seems that right now the group has finally found its real sounding, has reached a sort of their own standard. This is important – because, having such a work in one's reserve, it is possible to freely experiment in any direction. Durable foundation – is there.
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

SHyZO. Zroby tse... (Do It...)


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. The position is, certainly, clear, thank you for warning – but let us disagree.

Rura. Moja ljubov. (My Love)


Extremely fast, really – it seems that there are yet no analogues to such speed on the Ukrainian scene. Just a few months have passed from the moment when Rura released her debut album – and here we already have the second album, and active work on the third album is in process. Surprising, but also nice capacity – isn't it?

BioNik. BioNik.


It is exactly such music that practically the whole Europe listens to now – the young part of population, accordingly. It is exactly such music that Ukraine lacks at present. At least, such bright cocktails of punk, pop, grunge, Brit-pop – practically nobody does that. And it is worth trying...
Domestic price: 180.60UAH, International price: $12.90USD

Pomaranch. ...sche, dlja morjakiv u Niheriji.


“Pomaranch” is the energy of colour.  It is a cheerful, fresh, flexible, hot, not completely fluid, but quite a pellucid energy.
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Motor'rolla. ..sho komu ne jasno?..sche! (..Wut's Not Clear?..Once More!)


...having changed the vocalist, recorded a bright album and dramatically altered their image (playing true rock in neat suits – that is well-aimed, indeed)) – Motor'rolla has presently became one of the most interesting Ukrainian alternative teams. I mean alternative not as the music style, but just as a method of self-expression, world perception.
Domestic price: 208.60UAH, International price: $14.90USD

Rura. Rura.


In order to make it a bit clearer at once, we will say the following: the group Rura was assisted in preparation and release of this album by, among others, the groups Perkalaba and Pan Pupets. And not only (im)morally but also physically...
