Nogu Svelo! were the kings of Russian punk — a band that defined a generation with their explosive mix of satire, irreverence, and musical insanity. When the regime demanded silence, they made the most dangerous punk choice possible: they walked away. They left fame, markets, and their entire home base behind, choosing truth over comfort and freedom over fear.

But the story didn’t end there. New York City — the global capital of reinvention — became the band’s launchpad for a total transformation. Reborn with a fierce new American lineup, they have evolved into something louder, sharper, and more universal: Wild East Punk, a collision of Slavic chaos, Brooklyn grit, multilingual fire, and immigrant energy.

Their journey — from Soviet basements to New York rooftops, from banned-and-erased to thriving-and-global — isn’t just survival. It’s a revolution. Their shows across Europe, Latin America, and North America already prove it: crowds of every background scream the lyrics, dance to the absurdity, and connect to the band’s unmistakable combination of rebellion, humor, virtuosity, and borderless identity.

Nogu Svelo! didn’t just abandon an empire — they outgrew it. They came back louder, stranger, freer, and more global than ever. This is Immigrant Punk for a New World. This is Wild East Punk.
Banned in Russia. Reborn in New York. Ready for everywhere.

In recent years, Nogu Svelo! have torn across Europe, Latin America, and North America, packing premier venues and converting new audiences far beyond the Russian-speaking diaspora. Their U.S. and Canadian touring run included iconic rooms such as the Troubadour in Los Angeles, Lee’s Palace in Toronto, the Pearl in Vancouver, Sonia in Boston, and Amsterdam Bar & Hall in the Twin Cities — confirming the band’s ability to fill major clubs entirely on the strength of their global story and explosive live show.

Online, the band functions like a global independent machine. More than 120,000 fans follow them on Instagram, 27,000 on Facebook, and over 50,000 listeners stream them monthly on Spotify. Their half-million YouTube subscribers generate millions of views, driven by Max Pokrovsky’s relentless, no-filter digital presence. Throughout the war, the band has stood firmly with Ukraine, releasing Ukrainian-language songs and participating in fundraising efforts that have helped raise over $100,000 for humanitarian support.

This isn’t a nostalgia act. This is a movement.

The next chapter begins with EQUILIBRIUM, Nogu Svelo!’s new multilingual album — a fierce collection of future punk anthems, dance-floor detonations, and immigrant-energy hits in English, Spanish, Ukrainian, and Russian. EQUILIBRIUM captures the sound of a band rebuilt in New York: sharper hooks, heavier grooves, global influences, and the humor and defiance that made Nogu Svelo! legendary.

The new lineup — forged in NYC’s multicultural underground — positions the band for major festivals, world-music and punk circuits, and collaborations across North America, Europe, and Latin America. With EQUILIBRIUM, Nogu Svelo! step into their most ambitious, most global era — a season charged with new experiments, unexpected collaborations, and explosive special guests joining the Wild East Punk uprising.
