Recommended Russian rock bands. Special feature on popular overseas bands.
When people start listening to Western rock music, they usually begin with American or British bands. But as they get curious about the bands’ backgrounds and dig deeper, many eventually discover the world of rock beyond the English-speaking countries.
In this article, we introduce a variety of bands—centered on Russian rock groups but also including metal, punk, progressive, and more!
Please take this opportunity to enjoy the unique sounds and melodies you won’t find in any other country.
In light of the current situation, we are also introducing a page for the “Ukraine Emergency Fundraising.”
