Hi. I posted this question in /mu/, but I will also put it here in hopes of getting more answers. My Russian is way too bad to go and ask this on DvaChan, so I guess this will have to do:
"Ok everyone, I am trying to explore Russian music and culture a bit and I'm pretty disappointed with what I have found so far. It seems like it's a really bad rip off of (at least in rock and related genres) of German, French, British, and American music.
The music just seems quite stunted.
Can someone help me find music from Russia that isn't crap or is at least interesting?
Interesting music that I have found from Russia so far is
-Dvar
-Kolovrat
-Kiborg (are they even Russian?)
-You Must Murder
-Delfin/Dolphin
-Sector Gaza (has a few interesting songs)
-TequilaJazzz
-Pyatnitsa
I've really been looking for Russian music for a while and I can't believe it's such a short list. Am I looking in the wrong places? One band is schizophrenic bees and at least three of them are far right nationalist bands….is this normal for Russia? Is creativity in music seriously that restricted to the fringe over there?
Requesting some sort of Russian music dump. Thanks!"
