They say that it takes two to tango, but one can also rock perfectly well with two. Known to everyone since White Stripes, Black Keys, or Black Diamond Heavies. This is in the same vein, with the added bonus that it rocks по-русски (in Russian): Shokalsky Revenge from St. Petersburg.
Shokalsky Resurrection: Пропасть навсегда (2022)
For a long time, Shokalsky Revenge seemed doomed or already dead. After the release of Репортаж с места событий (Report from the Scene) in 2016, things went quiet and remained quiet. For six years, until the two-man band returned in 2022 with Пропасть навсегда (The Abyss Forever), doing what rockers are supposed to do: being anything but quiet.
Упаковка (Packaging) is the second track of this four-track EP.
