Kerosin, “Власть народу!” (“Power To The People!”), Punk´n´Roll from Moscow city.

Bio

The ancestors of the founders of the punk’n’roll style in Russia, KEROSIN skillfully combine the energy of punk with the melody and ease of early rock and roll and rockabilly, drawing inspiration from both the songs of rock’n’roll heroes (Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Johnny Burnette, etc), and of classical punk (Ramones, The Clash, Iggy Pop, Dead Kennedys, Social Distortion, Rancid, Misfits, etc). Topics range from the lyrics of funny stories to social and rebellious subjects, as well as the universal problems of love, friendship, loneliness, and the struggle for themselves, their freedom and their opinions.

Six months after the formation of KEROSIN in 2008, the band received an offer from Europe to record a split with punk’n’roll group Mean Idols, who had previously toured Russia with the Misfits. An album “Kerosin / Mean Idols: Split!” was released in mid-2009 on the independent label Rumble Fish Records and received distribution to 14 Russian cities and nearby countries of the CIS (Estonia, Finland, etc.)

They also worked with the Russian producer and filmmaker, Olga Stolpovskaya (winner of numerous film awards including the New York film award of 2004 for Best Foreign Film) to write a popular hit “Cold” (together with the leader of the group Cockroaches, Dmitry Spirin Sid) and have also taken part in a Russian tribute band to Motorhead.

In March 2013 they released their second album “20 13”, comprising 12 songs in Russian and one cover song. They also completed a tour of Russia to present the album in more than a dozen cities and at the end of May, KEROSIN presented their new album at the festival “Rock Park” in the company of groups such as The King and the Clown, Louna and Project Rockstar (super-group of musicians Alice Cooper, Scorpions, Judas Priest). A second Russian tour is planned for September/October 2013.
