Bratya Grim: Russian Rock Scene

Identical twin brothers Borya and Kostya Grim are from Samara, in southern Russia. They started producing music in 1999 but would wait several years before their demo was given to producer Leonid Burlakov, who moved the group to Moscow where they would become stars. Their lyrics are ethereal, "blending words and images to bring out the beauty of the sound of the language, rather than build narrative or even attempt to make sense." (SRA music magazine) The arrangements are traditional rock, driven by strong guitar and percussion.
