From Rottenbeat
Uncompromising anarcho-punk band from Grodno with female vocals. 'Bad Girls Choose Freedom', 'Passport Control', 'A Prick not Punk' - that's what they are singing about. Recorded two albums: Demo, 2001 and Not a Word about Politics, 2002. Songs are in Russian and Belorussian.
It is one of the most famous Belorussian punk-bands, one of the most politically engaged and one if not the only one which gained a lot of audience in Russia without playing a single gig there. Instead they toured Western Europe during in Spring 2002, during the first year of its existence they gave 35 gigs in Lithuania, Poland, Austria, Germany, Danemark and Sweden. The only releases they had was a vinyl published in Germany and a small circulation of tape published in Kiev, Ukraine by an independent label 'tigra nigra'. Contra La Contra is no more, but its politically edgy album is still with us.
The band singled itself out by its phenomenal female vocals. By the microphone there was a girl with a voice of a schoolgirl who was shouting punk with the texts for which she could be easily imprisoned in her country.
