Tarakany! is one of Russia's most enduring and influential punk rock bands, whose career has spanned over three decades since their formation in the early 1990s. Known for their energetic music, politically charged lyrics, and activism, Tarakany!, which translates to "Cockroaches!" in English, has become a prominent voice in the Russian punk scene and has built a significant following both at home and abroad.

Throughout their extensive career, Tarakany! has released a plethora of albums and singles, seamlessly blending punk rock with elements of hardcore, ska, and even rap. Some of their most recent musical endeavours include "Double Arrows Down"—an emphatic track with a potent message—and the pulsating "32 мая (BaseFace Remix)," showing their ability to innovate and adapt to the constantly changing music landscape. The compilation "BesТ! 30" celebrates their long-standing presence in the industry, while albums like "15, часть 2: Худым и злым" and "15 (...И ничего кроме правды)" exemplify their storytelling prowess and dedication to creating music that resonates with and inspires their listeners. Their song "Жёлтая звезда" underscores their penchant for tackling sensitive and critical social issues through their art. With a career robust with pointed social commentary and anthems for the disaffected, Tarakany! continues to be a pillar of punk ethos and a conduit for change.
