In July, Oleg Chefranov — a musician from the band Liniya Nadrizu — was killed on the front line. For over 15 years, he had been part of this iconic Kharkiv-based project. He joined the band in 2008, while the band itself has existed since the late 1990s.

"At some point while playing in BEZLAD, I realized that some of the new music and lyrics I was writing didn’t quite fit within that project. It felt like the right moment to start something of my own.
I was inspired by American pop-punk from the ’90s and early 2000s.

In June 2023, we held our festival, and the illustration "Unbreakable Kharkiv" was specially created for it. However, we didn’t manage to print the tshirts in time for the event.
In June 2025, we finally produced a small batch of tshirts — just 50 pieces, in sand and light brown colors.

TURBOTA
A new name in the Ukrainian scene.
This is a sincere personal punk rock - a solo project by Bezlad's guitarist Denys, featuring other musicians known from bands like Bezlad, Mauser and Stinx.
This is not just music - it is post-traumatic reflection.
This is not just another band - 👇🏼

Today is the third anniversary of our friend Igor Volokhov's death.
If anyone doesn't know, Igor was an anarchist, social activist, punkrock fan.
He was the first from our scene to join the defense forces. And on March 2nd he died as a result of an airstrike on Kharkiv.
Never forget! Never forgive!

Three years.
An unthinkable term. Let's not discuss all the losses and damages for people, our city or the country as a whole now.
How have these years affected our scene?
Fewer concerts, fewer bands, fewer people.

If we talk about the Kharkiv Hardcore scene one of the key bands is definitely KNIFEMAN. They have formed their signature sound from the start - modern metallic hardcore with a noticeable crust/dbeat influence and blastbeat streaks .
Having appeared in 2013, the band is still working on new stuff.
