Скрипсвай

Скрипсвай (Skripsvay) is a Russian punk rock band formed in Saint Petersburg in 1998, known for their gritty, no-frills sound and rebellious lyrical themes. Founded by vocalist Mikhail "Gorshok" Gorsheniov (of Король и Шут fame), bassist Andrey "Svin" Panin, and guitarist Sergey "Knox" Trofimov, the group blends raw punk energy with folk-inspired melodies and darkly humorous lyrics tackling societal decay, urban life, and personal struggles. Their music often channels a DIY ethos, with lo-fi production and unapologetically confrontational delivery.

With recent releases like *Купола* ("Domes") and *Вся жизнь помойка* ("All Life Is a Dump"), Скрипсвай continues to cement their status as underground legends in Russia’s alternative scene. Tracks like *Балтийский флот* ("Baltic Fleet") and *Двадцать лет на фронте* ("Twenty Years on the Frontline") showcase their knack for combining catchy hooks with biting social commentary. Despite lineup changes over the years, the band maintains a fiercely loyal fanbase drawn to their unfiltered authenticity and relentless touring spirit.
