XXVII  SVINOKOP s/t

cassette 16 min.

A demo of St. Petersburg punk band with Шараповым as singer and lyrics' writer, wherein I played guitar and composed music between 2003 and 2007. As I have got to know later, the recording had a semi-official name The Dead Don't Bite, which is no way reflected on the cover. Performed by the most professional lineup (if applicable to this kind of art) with Anna Zaytseva on bass guitar and Vasya Xkrusayderx (8Hz, Potom Budet Pozdno) on drums. I could, as usually, add that I can't remember the circumstances of making this recording completely (the site of SVINOKOP states, that it has been recorded on vintage analogue equipment), but this has already become a refrain to almost all of the releases of those times with my participation, besides I completely don't remember either how we had composed and rehearsed this program at all, the one uncommon enough: almost all the songs are in foreign languages (Esperanto, English, Deutsch and Vegan), including a Piĉismo cover, most of them having been performed live very rarely (or my memory just holds mostly endless repetitions of the same program in the course of all those years with different band members). The last song Sun is played first as in instrumental, and then again with lyrics, growing into an 8 minute noise jam, taking up the whole side B of the tape for those who have a double-sided tape (as it was dubbed manually on different kinds of tapes). A really worthy stuff, and the sound quality also makes me feel respect for myself.
