Black Russians

**Black Russians** are a Norwegian garage rock band known for their tongue-in-cheek Cold War aesthetic and high-energy performances. Formed in the early 2010s, the group blends gritty, retro-inspired riffs with satirical lyrics that poke fun at historical tensions and pop culture tropes, evident in tracks like *Communist Dudes* and *Mutually Assured Destruction*. Their sound channels the raw energy of 1960s garage rock with a modern twist, while their live shows often feature Soviet-themed visuals and playful nods to B-movie camp, as seen in releases like *Saving Tomorrow From The Jasons*. Though they’ve cultivated a niche cult following in Europe, Black Russians remain delightfully unserious—even dropping a holiday single (*Feel The Christmas*) that marries sleigh bells with their signature irreverence.
