Bands like Distemper and Leningrad are known for their energetic performances and ability to engage audiences. The genre enjoys a dedicated fan base, celebrating unity and a love for ska through lively concerts and festivals, embodying a dynamic fusion of global sounds with a distinctly Russian flavor.
