Accordion Punk - The New sound of Russian Folk

Issue 1 March 2010

The world will never be the same again since someone decided to pick up an accordion and rock out. Not your usual instrument of subjugation, the accordion sneaks up on you like a street urchin, smashes it over your head, sets fire to your body and dances on your ashes to the sound of distorted guitars.

In this first issue of Rottenbeat, we present our collection of the best in Russian Accordion Punk music. From the darkest corners of the earth, where toothless crones cackle in strange languages, from the fatherless motherland itself we have dug up twelve 'humdingers' of songs featuring our beloved squeezable instrument.

Ladies and Gentlemen, click on our 'Rottenbeater', then pogo your way over Pushkins grave to the sound of an accordion nuclear war.

Accordion Punk

Accordion, or a squeeze box, is a very popular instrument in Russia. It is relatively simple to operate, easy to transport, it is loud enough to overshout local quarrels and fights, and last but not the least - it has a belt which makes it difficult to loose if you want to have a break for another shot of vodka.

Avant-Punk

What happens if one decides to marry the prose of Daniil Kharms and other poetic experiments of Russian intelligentsia with punk-rock, grind-core, and other loud execrises that tear apart the walls of low-budget clubs? Madness - the first word that comes to mind. Here we are, it is exactly how it is.

Psycho-Folk

Atonal and arrhythmic noise experiments, beautiful instrumental electronics mixed with all kind of samples, from Stravinsky to some kind of French rap, ethnographic folklore, village reggae and covers of Viktor Tsoy and Bob Marley, performed in the style of a church choir. Here come love songs and sincere spiritual folk, finished with Orthodox rap, ironic but simultaneously very serious, funny from the first listen, but terribly powerful in its essence.

Anarcho-Punk

Simple melodies, clear and straightforward texts, aggressive vocals, open anti-state protest and radical anti-consumerism. More than a noise? - sure it is!
