Motorama (band)
Motorama is a Russian post-punk band from Rostov-on-Don, Russia. The band was formed in 2005. The group has received popularity not only in Russia but also abroad, especially in Europe, Latin America and Asia. Musical style and influences The band performs songs in English. Vladislav Parshin's vocals have often been compared with the voice of Ian Curtis, the frontman of the British band Joy Division. This, and the fact that Motorama played their first two mini-albums in a style close to the sound of classic post-punk, led to the fact that the group is often accused of copying Joy Division. Motorama’s singles demonstrate a more melodic and ghostly sound than Joy Division’s dark and fast paced punk. The situation has changed with the release of the group's first LP, ''Alps''. This album featured intonations of New Wave and Indie pop, and the music in general became more bright and melancholic than depressive. The band is influenced by Soviet post-punk bands like Kino and Zvuk ...
