Bezlad

**Bezlad** is a Ukrainian punk/hardcore act hailing from Kharkiv, known for raw energy and unapologetically political lyrics rooted in grassroots activism. Emerging in the early 2010s, the band has become a staple of Ukraine’s DIY underground scene, blending thrashing guitars, shouted vocals, and themes of resistance against social injustice, war, and systemic corruption. Tracks like “Kharkiv Hardcore Skins” and “Майбутнє Належить Нам” (*The Future Belongs to Us*) reflect their unyielding connection to their hometown and their role as sonic chroniclers of urban struggle. Bezlad’s music often doubles as a rallying cry, championing antifascist ideals and solidarity amid Ukraine’s turbulent modern history, making them both a cultural touchstone and a voice for dissent.
