Distemper is a band whose roots firmly trace back to the vibrant punk scene of Russia. Formed in Moscow in 1989, the band has become one of the most enduring and influential ska-punk outfits to emerge from the post-Soviet era. Fronted by the charismatic Dazent (Alexander Krasovitsky), Distemper's music is a boisterous blend of punk rock energy and ska rhythms, marked by punchy brass sections and an acute sense of melody.

Over the years, Distemper has built a discography that reflects their commitment to social and political issues, as well as a propensity for personal, introspective lyricism. Their most recent releases, which include "Время" (Time), "Лови волшебные мгновенья" (Catch Magical Moments), and "Чистые души" (Pure Souls), showcase their continued evolution while maintaining the raw, infectious energy that has defined their sound for over three decades. Celebrated not just for their music but also their lively performances, Distemper has retained a loyal fan base both in Russia and abroad, with their album "25" marking a quarter-century milestone that highlights their long-standing relevance in the music scene.
