Vtoroi Ka

Their other major asset is their approach to every step of their musical journey. They seemed destined to create a successful post-punk record, but they defy categorization with their latest release. With the PO Gube EP, Sultan and Ilya have crafted an ambitious, voice-centric work featuring complex rhythms and irresistible emotion. At the heart of each song—and particularly the single Po Gube—is a true ear for pop and its ability to convey emotion. Add Sultan's vocals to the mix, and the result is especially compelling. Vtoroi Ka delivers a soundtrack for the dark, intoxicating ecstasy they evoke. Their musical manifesto could be summarized as: "Po Gube expresses the spirit of the city at night. Its temptations, its dark side. It's a sonic dystopia... there is no hidden meaning, only sound, money, instincts, and decadence."

In 2025, Vtoroi Ka will play their first concerts in neighboring countries as well as in Western Europe, notably at iconic venues such as Lido (Berlin), ARCHA+ (Prague), Petit Bain (Paris), Le Botanique (Brussels), Commissary (Heidelberg), and the Iceland Airwaves festival.

In 2026, Vtoroi Ka will continue their European tour, showcasing their new album at the Reeperbahn Festival in Hamburg as well as several other cities across the continent.

With the momentum they are currently building, it will likely not be long before Vtoroi Ka becomes one of the must-know names of the next generation of post-punk bands.
