Riff Action Family

February 29, 2012 will be closed from the public selection for the upcoming semi-final contest "Eurovision". Particularly intriguing presence in the lists of the participants of the Petrograd alternativschikov Riff Action Family, with good cards can mix all the tables of ranks of this company pohlesche than Finns Lordi few years ago ...

Portal "newmusic.ru" published lists of participants semifinal selection of Russian artists for the upcoming contest "Eurovision". Some fantastic way mentioned in the lists was the team from the Northern capital Riff Action Family, performing outlandish to our vast expanse of stoner rock with elements of sludge, grunge and rap.

I recall that after the success on "Evrovision" shock Finnish rockers Lordi performers of rock music has repeatedly tried to storm this bastion of pop, but not Swedish glemsteram The Ark, or executing melodic metal Norwegians Wig Wam luck did not smile. Even the winner of one of the last "Eurovision", violinist Alexander Rybak, who had envisaged in 2011 to try his luck again in the competition in a duet with a black metal (!) Band Keep of Kalessin, and could not succeed SaveFrom.net.

Funny RAF, however, is that their music is not based on the characteristic of the European metal near-classical harmony, and has its roots in the music, once imported to the New World first settlers. Sludge and stoner primarily associated with the New Orleans scene, where the second half of the 80 Laban began a slow, low-sounding metal. Explain this sluggishness vozyukanya fingers on the guitar neck is very simple: Louisiana - the most humid and hot piece of the U.S., and there is something to grow unhindered. So a "method of madness" in a tunnel under the Petrograd rednekov Euro-pop clearly present. - Kontrabanda

"You'll be stoned by these guys from Saint-Petersburg, Russia. The band was formed at the end of 2008 with the guys getting together at a studio for a jam. They got carried away in the moment. This resulted in two demo tracks. Then they invited Ivan Ponkin to name the gig Riff Action Family [R.A.F.]. They are the first musicians who tried to play experimental English rock in Russia. The band began to actively rehearse, hence, created a concert program. By the summer 2009, there was enough material for a full vibrant statement and during that summer for the first time, they played at the festival Air-2009. This was followed by events in St. Petersburg and Moscow, performing at various full-fledged festivals. In 2010 R.A.F. presented debut EP From Russia With Love. The debut album contains wicked four full-length tracks which demonstrate the band's choice versatility. By listening to the tracks, you don't know what awaits you around the corner..."
