Zemlyane

Zemlyane (which translates to "Earthlings") is a legendary Soviet and Russian rock band that’s been a staple of the country’s music scene since the late 1970s. Formed in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg), the group became iconic for blending rock energy with synth-pop and patriotic themes, often celebrating space exploration—fitting for their name. Their 1983 hit *Трава у дома* ("Grass by the House") became an unofficial anthem for Soviet cosmonauts and remains a cultural touchstone. Over the decades, they’ve weathered lineup changes and shifting musical trends, but their anthemic sound and nostalgic appeal keep them relevant, especially with reissues like *Неизданное* ("Unreleased") digging into their vaults. Live recordings like *Концертная программа, Live 1981-1982* showcase their raw, crowd-pleasing energy from their peak era. Whether you’re into retro synths or Soviet rock history, Zemlyane’s music feels like a blast from the past with timeless hooks.
