Svetlanas are one of the most dynamic and hard working bands around.
Their music takes me back to the glory days of 1980’s hardcore and skatecore - one of my favourite eras. A live Svetlanas show is unforgettable: it's like being in an incendiary cyclone of buzzing, distorted guitars, pummelling drums and bass and, of course, the electrifying stage presence of Olga. All of this, plus never compromising on their core values and belief systems means Svetlanas have built a community of followers that is like a family.
As Olga quite correctly reminded me, they are "the most dangerous band in the world".
It was a huge honour to welcome Olga, Diste and Steve of Svetlanas!
