S.K.A.Y. today is one of the most popular Ukrainian pop-rock bands. However, "pop" is rather about popularity. And it's not just about the music when shaping the status, social activity of the group matters as well, in terms of participation at some important events, and the civil position, in particular that of Oleh Sobchuk. Well, this is how it is. Moreover, S.K.A.Y. can "bang" not only a melodic, beautiful ballad but undoubtedly drive pieces as well, and "The Edge of Heaven" is just a good evidence to that. The album is quite concise there is much less noise than, say, in "The Exclamation Mark" but thus it is as expressive as possible. Both in the melodies, and in individual music phrases it is, so to say, precise. While the lyrics are, on the contrary, mostly romantic, light. Not frivolous, but there is in a couple of songs something from a spring morning, weightless and sunny. On the other hand, the album opens with the song "We Are Together!", and it is hardly a coincidence... In short, there are different things as well as in life. The album has not turned into an experiment (although is includes as many as 5 bonuses) but it has clearly confirmed the status, and it is to be continued...

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..

"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...

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..

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..

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...

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...

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.

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.

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.

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...

...sounding of the disc looks like illustration of the conclusion that the core of a person consists of feelings. Strong and far not always lyric ones. Hence tension, speed, harsh emotions but these are still paints. Because from within that very lyricism looms it is impossible not to notice it.

"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.

..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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

...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.

Babkin manages to avoid profanity: his music had became lighter, but not primitive, the lyrics have become more concise but have not slipped into nonsense (besides for the first time! all songs of the album are in Ukrainian), in the end, the scale of the artist has changed, which is perceived in the way it is presented.

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..

The new album by Antytila was released unexpectedly quickly but the title "Sun" seems to imply that there was no need to wait, that the time came. Or were the new songs so much burning inside that one had to release them as soon as possible? However, the cover of "People Like Ships" by Skryabin here may indicate at something quite different

On the one hand, there is a bunch of components in the musical canvas, and participation of jazz musicians, a children's choir, or a full-fledged brass section emphasize that the arrangements turn out diverse. On the other there is still the feeling as if you listen to an album sung just with the guitar. However, it is rather an advantage...

"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.

The main thing is that this music is not committed to a certain style, but rather to a certain brand, a quality of expression. So, if for the sake of this quality one needs to add some atypical colors it happens in an easy and natural way. Such a cool simplicity. At the same time it is a team play, in which no one pulls the blanket over himself.

The "Radioheaven" project is a good example of rock music created just for the love of the process, not for any mercenary considerations. Thus, there is no cheap epatage, adolescent humor and disregard for detail in the sounding. While there is a quest for their own path, self-respect and, at the same time, self-irony.

...the trademark self-irony is still there. To make sure the first song from the album will be enough. Though, indeed, the rest of the songs also meet this sort of a definition: irony plus clownery. Need I say that both the first and second are not limited to smiles and jokes, subtle and not too subtle?

The Britalin really pleases both with the level of performance, and arrangements. The lyrics are not deprived of some sense either, and sometimes they are quite provocative it is nice.

...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.

The impression is that "Fortissimo" is currently not only the best of his albums, but also one of the best pop-rock albums of the recent time in general.

And it appears, really, sunny and positive even though humor is far not the key (although noticeable enough) constituent of the songs' lyrics.

"Sertsevy Napad" is only five years old, and now you see the first official album by the group.

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.
