Адвокаты

"Advokaty" is the side-project of Dzierzynski Bitz frontman. Blending the legacy of the local new wave scene with contemporary synth rock, the band has created a distinctive sound of their own. The debut album "23:45," released in April 2018, swiftly made its mark on the regional indie charts of Apple Music. Garnering positive reviews from both critics and esteemed experts, the album earned recognition from influential source "Meduza," saying “it's like the music the main character from the iconic Perestroika film "Assa'' would create if the movie were directed today”. The record also secured a nomination for the "APrize Award" from Radio Aristokraty. In 2020, "Live on the Wasteland" (Лайв на пустыре) was released. The video is shot on miniDV cameras, yet "it's not an homage to old television; rather, it's a way to place the show to an artificially crafted elusive space." The second album, Svoyo Delo (Cвоё Дело), was finished but remained unreleased. This decision stems from the frontman's refusal to use the Russian language amid Russia's aggression against Ukraine. "Kinnota," the new band on the scene, dropped their first single in November 2023.
