YORSCH: Too Alive to Be a Legend. An Enhanced Biography of the Band

YORSCH — once an underground band from Podolsk near Moscow, which is among the most relevant punk rock groups in the CIS. From small bars, cramped basements, and local recognition to gigantic festival stages, hot radio rotations, and tours covering a hundred cities in a year. From rehearsals in a suburban cultural center to songs that the whole country knows and sings. This journey cost every drop of sweat, every bruise in the slam, and every sleepless night in the tour bus. The boy with the mohawk has grown up and is celebrating his anniversary. Twenty years of drive, fun, and punk rock. Twenty years together with you. The book you hold in your hands, written by journalist Denis Stupnikov, tells this journey in the words of the musicians themselves. And if you are still thinking about picking up the guitar, — read this and head out on your first tour. Everything is just beginning. Because each of us — a seeker and unwavering believer in our dream — is «too alive to be a legend».
