VINYL FORMAT. Tracks: "Solar" b/w "Suburban Sounds." Russian Import! It would not be an overstatement to say that Punk TV were the most-talked-about independent band in Russia in 2009. Originally from Siberia, Punk TV was formed in early 2004 by three friends and musicians (Alex, Volodya and Kostya), before relocating to Moscow two years later. The band's discography spans over five years with three full-length releases: a 2005 debut (Punk TV), a follow-up in 2007 (Music for the Broken Keys) and 2008's sensation Loverdrive. Their sound is soft, yet at the same time dynamic, with diffused chord structures and melodies of electronic romanticism - a mixture of air and movement with guitar riffs, solid rhythm, and infectious vocals. During the five years of Punk TV's existence critics have compared their sound to My Bloody Valentine, Sonic Youth and New Order.
