They're being labelled ultimate rulage on a couple forums I used to browse. Never heard them myself though.

 

[Thanatopsis123]

They're pretty good. I've heard their album Vozrozhdenie and own Lepta. It's good but nothing special.

Here's samples you lazy bastard.

[J.]

anyone with a fresh opinion of these guys and gals?

 

[EricT]

They're awesome?

I enjoy them very much and would stick my doodle in Masha's noodles any day.

 

[swizzlenuts]

So why are these guys good again?

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

You'll find out in less than two weeks.

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

They're only the best female fronted band out there.

that might actually be true

 

[IOfTheStorm]

Heard them when EricT recommended them in the last recommendation round. Funny stuff.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Yeah, so their latest live dvd is AMAZING. almost two and a half hours long, tons of guest musicians (bagpipes, back up singers). if you're into this band, get it now, or...
