A Russian punk rock band formed in Tyumen, Russian Federation in 1980s by Dmitry Kolokolov and Евгений Кокорин.
The original lineup consisted of Dmitry (rhythm guitar, vocals), Eugene (lead guitar, vocals) and Vadim Zuev (drums).
Their early albums were recorded one after another on the only reel of cassette tape they had, and their first several concerts were extremely unsuccessful. In 1991 Kolokolov and Zuev created their own band Мёртвый Ты, and Kokorin joined a band called Инструкция По Выживанию as a guitarist.
