Peremotka, the revelation of the Russian new wave
Peremotka, translated into Spanish means 'rewind' and, as they tell us in the interview, their name was inspired by a Russian film they saw and took the concept of “taking something good from the past and bringing it to the present.”
It was at school that Oleg (vocals), Gennad (bassist) and Nikita (guitar) discovered their taste for music by doing covers of local songs until they decided to create their own songs. The bands that inspired them were New Order, Joy Division, The Cure and Slowdive.
Their music is described as relaxing and addictive, something the three 28-year-olds agree with. Their video clips stand out for their particularity and strangeness, and through them they express their hobbies and tastes. On YouTube you can find one of the most viewed with animations of the legendary game Super Mario and another with excerpts from the film 'Before Sunrise'.
