Brigadni Podryad - unreleased album '89



This is one of the best punk bands came out of U.S.S.R.
called BRYGADNI PODRYAD (Бригадный Подряд).
They formed in middle 80s, in Saint Petersburg and
have made some recordings in 85-89 which were never
released in soviet times, or released as a spool DIY demo
albums.

Here is their, in my opinion, best album, the band recorded
it in '89 but as far as i know most of the songs were
composed earlier, and most of it also appeared on a self
released demo album "НЧ/ВЧ", that was recorded live
at the legendary Saint-P. punk club "NCh/VCh".
Straightforward, pretty melodic, garage punk rock 77 type
with some influence of very early american hardcore punk
bands. Their lyrics were really anti-social, sarcastic and, of
course, anti-soviet. The hatred for USSR regime was really
strong in any punk band from 80s Russia, in fact.

They also had a legendary singer, punk rocker from Saint-P.
KOLYA MIKHAILOV, from 84 to middle 90s i think, then
he got some kind of a brain damage and died in 2000s,
and i think the reason was too much alcohol and bad health.
R.I.P. Kolya.

The album's called "Членский Взнос", i have no idea how to
translate it in english, sorry friends. And it was officially
released many years later on a CD.
