Russian male singers. The best rock bands in Russia: list, names
A fairly popular group with Eva Polna at the head, immediately won wide public love with their good arrangements and quickly riveted many memorable hits, which the girls tearfully sang in almost all the discos of the vast Motherland. Songs like “Loveless,” “Run from Me” and, of course, “Love Me French” became essential tracks on the playlist of any self-respecting bachelorette party of the 90s and 2000s.
2. Disco Crash
Even the most inveterate rapper and the most fearful metalhead, no, no, will remember the incendiary tunes of this group, well, “Drink beer - eat meat” sounded from every iron in its time. Disco Accident, having gone through the death of one of the participants, actually created a lot of very good different songs about love and friendship and aram-zam-zam there too. Their work is crowned with “The New Year is rushing towards us, everything will happen soon” - known from the first chords and recognizable by absolutely everyone.
3. Ivanushki International
The epic boy band of our country, where the band members have almost become grandfathers, continues to sing songs about unhappy girlish love. In the turbulent nineties there was “Poplar Down”, and “Bullfinches”, “Clouds”, “Dolls” - it was on these hits that the all-Russian popularity of one red-haired and two non-red-haired ones was won.
4. Lyceum
A sweet girl group that changed lead singers like gloves. Well, who hasn’t done this - you can remember, for example, such a crazy group as “Strelki”, where there were about 20 different girls on vocals and backup dancers, replacing each other regularly once a month. “Lyceum”, against their backdrop with the permanent Anastasia Makarevich, was simply a model of stability, and their “Autumn-autumn, the summer has cooled down and dropped its leaves” and “And I am a winter girl”, firmly and for a long time ingrained in the brains of all our compatriots.
5. Mirage
The mastodons of this list, who started back in the USSR. A large number of casts and girls who grew into independent stars like Vetlitskaya, Ovsienko or Saltykova, traveled around the country in the 90s and filled entire stadiums. They were the ones who brought electronic music to the country en masse, and I still remember very well how my parents rocked out to “Music Connected Us”
6. Hands Up
Another epic and popular mega-project named after Sergei Zhukov. If progressive youth were already listening to Western music, then Russian youth in the outback were rocking out to the frantic rhythms of Ruki Vverkh. “Ay-yay-yay girl”, “I’m already 18” and others still thunder at all sorts of discos of the 90s and regularly pack the halls.
7.Tattoo
Our “European breakthrough”, lesbian image and incredible drive, of course, did their job and “tattoos” became popular not only in Russia. At first everything went well, really strong albums and hits - “They Will Not Catch Up with Us”, and at concerts they gave their best every time. Then re-covers of Western hits and songs in English began, and the Russian audience began to slowly leave, and along with it the popularity began to decline.
8. Technology
The Technology group at one time laid claim to the laurels of the most advanced electronic disco group in young democratic Russia. Copying the then insanely popular “Depeche Mode”, the group with their hit “Press the button - you will get the result”, managed to break through to fame and popularity and gathered a record 70 thousand in the Luzhniki arena, which at that time was rented out to anyone and anything man, those were the times.
9.Na-na
Perhaps the first sane boy band brought to our country four smiling guys who sang sweet, meaningless songs about “The hat fell and fell on the floor” and gained enormous popularity among young and not so young girls. They say that the group is still alive, and this is almost 20 years, and is still performing on tour somewhere abroad.
10. Inveterate scammers
The reckless and hooligan recitalists from Amoralov and company, of course, are remembered by all the “clean boys” of that time. The first bright robes, saggy pants and glasses of unimaginable shapes, as well as simple texts about how to glue a girl together, not to worry and forget about studying and ancestors, of course, found their way into the minds of young people after the straight-as-a-stick doctrines of the Soviet Union. Such was the time - every innovation was received with a bang, and each, even the weakest and most obscure of their albums, had a certain success.
Roman Litvinov, better known as Mujuice, is perhaps the most notable electronic music artist in Russia of the last decade. The artist has more than a dozen full-length releases, a minority of which were recorded with live vocals.
The last such album was Amore e morte, released last year. The release got lost in the flow of new music and did not become as successful as, for example, Cool Cool Death!, released ten years ago. Despite this, Mujuice is still popular today; musicians such as Zemfira Ramazanova do not hesitate to collaborate with him, and the performer himself is a welcome participant in major Russian and foreign festivals.
2. Antokha MC
“Antokha MC” is a musician from Moscow, who began by studying at a music school in the “Trumpet” class, and is now one of the most promising Russian hip-hop artists.
In Anton’s work you can find echoes of 5’nizza and Mikhey, but in general it is quite original - this is not hip-hop in the classical sense of the term. The music is influenced by funk and reggae, and an additional highlight is the accompaniment, which in some songs is played by a trumpet.
3. Medjikul
The absence of the St. Petersburg group “Medzhikul” in radio and TV rotation is quite possibly a temporary phenomenon. Their debut album “Everything about Marfa” has everything to please almost any listener: you can dance both fiery and slow dances to the songs of “Medzhikul”, they want to sing along, while the music itself is very far from the tired pop music .
“Medzhikul” is perhaps the first group in Russia that performs music in the genre of rhythm and blues of the 70s - the so-called Motown Sound. The St. Petersburgers skillfully combine the features of this genre with modern musical techniques and funny lyrics in Russian, as a result of which their compositions sound fresh and familiar at the same time.
4. Harajiev Smokes Virginia!
A group from Kazan, which started in 2009 with killer math-rock, now performing indie rock with elements of pop music. The group has six full-fledged releases, each of which will probably remain forever in the memory of my smartphone.
There are only three people in the group, the main instrumental core consists of drums, bass, guitar and vocals. HSV records also use other instruments, but this minimum set is enough to perform songs at concerts. If you love playful and romantic guitar music, do not understand English lyrics and have no prejudices about high-pitched male vocals, then Harajiev Smokes Virginia! you'll like it.
5.Motorama
Rostov-on-Don gave fans of hip-hop “Casta”, and fans of modern independent music - the couple Vlad and Irina Parshin, who were at the origins of the projects Motorama, “Morning” and “Bergen Kremer” (“Summer in the City”). Motorama is considered to be the main project of the musicians: the band’s discography includes four full-length and two mini-albums, and the tour map extends far beyond Russia.
Motorama's work is usually classified as post-punk and twee-pop. Unpretentious progressions and melodies, a 4/4 time signature and minimalistic accompaniment make Motorama's music simple and enjoyable.
6. Thank you
“Musical group from Moscow” is the full text of the annotation in the “Thank you” community “VKontakte”. The participants do not try to show off their diversity of style tags and do not compare themselves with the hegemons of the genres. The band's style is truly difficult to describe without resorting to boring musical terms. In simple words, “Spasibo” is a playful and sometimes experimental guitar rock with intelligent lyrics in the native language.
7. BCH
BCH is a project of Moscow musician Viktor Isaev. It all started with the album “Minion,” released in 2014, unusual both in form and content. High-quality R&B and soul are not a very common occurrence in Russian music, and BTSH not only became a good alternative to James Blake, but also released an original experimental release. “Minion” is the album where very non-Russian music is combined with the most Russian lyrics - poems by poets of the Silver Age.
The latest release of the BCH “Hellenic Secret” was recorded with original lyrics. The music itself has also undergone changes: the songs are different from each other and combine echoes of many directions - from trip-hop to retrowave.
8. Pinkshinyultrablast
Pinkshinyultrablast is a shoegaze band from St. Petersburg and the only Russian band that Pitchfork likes to write about. Shoegaze is an alternative rock genre that originated in England in the late 80s. Music of this style is characterized by specific work with guitar effects and the detached behavior of musicians on stage, absorbed in this work.
In Russia, the boom of shoegaze music in the 80s and 90s went unnoticed, which is why this genre is still not popular among a wide audience. Pinkshinyultrablast do not count on success with Russian listeners: they give concerts abroad much more often than in Russia.
9. On-The-Go
A group from Togliatti, which started in their hometown with killer dance-rock and later changed both genre and place of residence. After moving to the capital, the Togliatti residents were taken under the wing of the Xuman Records label, and the very first release In The Wind marked the beginning of the group’s creativity in a new style. Now On-The-Go is a Moscow band working in the indie-pop genre and sounding completely un-Russian.
10. Sirotkin
Moscow bard Sergei Sirotkin proves year after year that in Russia you can become a popular performer simply by playing beautiful music. The pursuit of fashion, the desire to turn creativity into bold experiments - this is not about Sirotkin. Here there is only a guitar and a young man with a beautiful voice.

All these years she has been touring and participating in various shows. However, we still miss her tender and lyrical song “ The wind blew from the sea", with which many have warm memories.

After leaving the group, she began her solo career and also starred in the TV series “Happiness is Somewhere Nearby.”
The domestic stage began to be replete with the composition of female musical groups since the time of the “Combination” group. Every year there were more and more projects in which attractive girls took part, although not always with outstanding vocal abilities. There were also cases when staff turnover in groups was so frequent that fans did not have time to get used to the new soloists, as a result of which the musical group lost popularity.
We have made a selection of ten famous music groups whose members have a seductive and striking appearance.
1. Reflex- a musical group whose composition has changed several times. The group gained its greatest fame during the tenure of three charming blondes, who stirred up the public's interest not only with dance hits, but also with candid shootings in glossy magazines.
2. Group name " Assorted"Speaks for itself. Each member of the group passed a rigorous selection process in the TV project “People’s Artist” and was a unique unit. But nothing in our world lasts forever, and 5 of the 6 members of the group, having said goodbye to their former producer, are leaving for a new project called N.A.O.M.I.
3. For their protruding sexual image, the team “ VIA Gra"was constantly criticized. In Belarus, Taiwan and Indonesia, there are still bans on showing the group’s most explicit videos. And in 2004, in Indonesia, girls received permission to perform on the condition that they wear closed pants suits.
4. " Tattoo" - one of the most successful Russian musical groups, famous all over the world. The image of lesbians exploited at the beginning of the project, performances in underwear, relaxed behavior and constant shocking antics of the soloists made the group the most criticized and scandalous.
5. Group " Factory"appeared during the project "Star Factory - 1". Despite the friendly atmosphere within the group, according to the girls, the group could not avoid a change in composition. It is noteworthy that quite recently a new participant appeared in “Factory”, who became a finalist in the show “I want to join VIA Gro.”
6. " VIA Cream" - another musical group that has not avoided personnel changes. One way or another, all the girls who have ever participated in this project have a bright appearance and charisma. The group is the winner of a number of awards, such as “Song of the Year”, “Golden Gramophone” and “Golden Disc”.
7. Group " Hairpins“cannot boast that they are at the peak of fame, but the girls have their own fans. The five attractive members of the group have outstanding choreographic skills and incredible flexibility, which makes them even sexier.
8. Group " Mobile blondes" - another project of producer Igor Matvienko. I didn’t have to think long about the image of the team. Having cast five long-legged blond beauties, the producer made them into typical anecdotal blondes. The girls themselves claim that this is just an image that they have to live up to.
9. History of the group " Shiny» its roots go deep to 1995. Since then, the composition of the women's team has changed several times. The pop group still exists today, but not a single old-timer remains in it. Despite the fact that the producers tried to select participants who looked similar to the girls from the first cast, they failed to regain their former popularity.
10. Group SEREBRO, created by Maxim Fadeev, announced itself by taking 3rd place at the Eurovision Song Contest 2007. After this event, the girls gained worldwide fame. Several times the producer had to say goodbye to the group members, but no less sexy girls always came to replace them.
