Editor's note

Tarakany! are a Russian punk band from Krasnodar.

They formed in 1991 and still play with the same four members.

For a sense of their sound, try 'Do It Yourself' or 'Gromche'. They're still the same four guys from Krasnodar.

Their debut album 'Luchshiye Pesni' in 1997 had the song 'Ya Tebya Lyublyu?' that connected with Russian youth. Lyrics about social inequality and personal struggles have drawn criticism from conservative circles. A track like 'Do It Yourself' shows their straightforward punk approach.

They started in 1991 drawing from British punk bands like The Clash. They've put out albums like 'Ulica' in 1999 and 'Punk Rock' in 2018. In 2014, they faced backlash and concert cancellations in Ukraine over political tensions.

Archive material and source history

Tarakany! formed in Krasnodar, Russia in 1991 with Dmitry Spirin on vocals, Alexei Gordeyev on guitar, Andrei Sidorov on bass, and Denis Rubtsov on drums. Their early sound drew from British punk bands like The Clash and Sex Pistols. They released their debut album 'Luchshiye Pesni' in 1997, which included the song 'Ya Tebya Lyublyu?' that became popular with Russian youth.

Their lyrics often touch on social inequality and personal struggles, which has drawn criticism from conservative circles at times. In 2014, they faced backlash and concert cancellations in Ukraine after being accused of supporting Russia's annexation of Crimea.

They've released albums like 'Ulica' in 1999, 'Strashno' in 2001, and 'Punk Rock' in 2018. Songs like 'Do It Yourself' and 'Gromche' show their straightforward punk approach. The same four founding members still make up the band today.
