This time I decided to revisit B-Lines, The Spits and Needles//Pins show from 2012. That was the first time I saw all three bands.

Episode #124

CiTR 101.9 Vancouver — Tue, 14 Apr 2015 10:29:16 -0700

Hello Hello Hello! Another decent episode of Rocket From Russia filled with new and exciting punk rock music. I started off the show with a song by a Russian punk rock band Tarakany! and their song “Kto-to Iz Nas Dvoih” which brought some special memories. Best Russian punk rock band in my opinion! First block features killer pop punk hits. They are all great and all sound pretty much the same, so why would I bother you with telling those band names? Especially considering the fact that the list of songs is located below. Second block features new hits by bands from Europe - my friends Umy! from my home town Novosibirsk released new album “Verit V Chudo” and I played the title track. Also this second block features two songs by bands which I played on the show before Quarterback 40 from Germany and Juustopäät from Helsinki, Finland. Both bands released wonderful albums this year. And in the end of the show I did two ticket giveaways to Lemuria, Tigers Jaw, Somos @ Studio East and Agent Orange, The Shit Talkers @ Rickshaw.

Episode #119

CiTR 101.9 Vancouver — Tue, 10 Mar 2015 10:30:35 -0700

Hello Hello Hello! That was the first episode of Rocket From Russia in the new time slot. Starting this week the show will be aired every Tuesday at 10:30am PST. I don’t think it really matters for podcast listeners, but if you’re listening to the show live this could be a relatively useful piece of information. Unfortunately, I started off the show with very sad news. The singer of an amazing Canadian punk band The Rebel Spell tragically passed away this weekend. This is extremely sad news because Todd was young and he definitely had a lot to write and sing about, and in general he was a very important member of Vancouver punk scene and simply a great human being. I had Todd on the show when “It’s a Beautiful Future” came out in 2011. We were talking about doing another interview in support of “Last Run”, but never matched our schedules. My deepest condolences to Todd’s family, friends and The Rebel Spell members. This is very very sad… The first block includes new punk rock music from Finland and Germany - Quarterback 40 (Germany), Juustopäät (Helsinki, Finland), Betontod (Rheinberg, Germany), Montreal (Hamburg, Germany), Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät (Helsinki, Finland). In the second block I focused on recent releases from Stomp Records - The Isotopes (Vancouver, BC, Canada), East End Radicals, BOIDS, Dig It Up (All Montreal, QC, Canada). And in the end of the show I did two ticket giveaways to Bum and Flamin’ Groovies @ Rickshaw and Safe and Sound, Open Letters, Stay Choked, Leveler @ 333 THE REBEL SPELL - Can’t Fool Me! [Four Songs About Freedom] QUARTERBACK 40 - Quarterback40 [Quarterback 40!] JUUSTOPääT - Jäljet [Jäljet] BETONTOD - Mein Letzter Tag [Traum Von Freiheit] MONTREAL - Vorbestimmung [Sonic Ballroom] PERTTI KURIKAN NIMIPäIVäT - Aina mun pitää [Aina mun pitää] THE ISOTOPES - Bleacher Creature Girl [Nuclear Strikezone] EAST END RADICALS - Dolce vita [Zero Hour] BOIDS - Paradise Wasted [We Stalk Each Other Like Animals] DIG IT UP - Eyes On Me [Manners] BUM - A Promise Is a Promise [Wanna Smash Sensation] FLAMIN’ GROOVIES - She Said Yeah [Shake Some Action] SAFE AND SOUND - Life in a Bottle [Rain Fest Promo Tape] OPEN LETTERS - The Option Of Killing Yourself Before A Stroke Takes Over Your Life [1-6] STAY CHOKED - Pizza Tragedy [Slow Jams] LEVELER - Dark Room (Graduates) [Calloused] ANTI-FLAG - Post-War Breakout [The Terror State]

Episode #108, Best of 2014. Vancouver Edition

CiTR 101.9 Vancouver — Thu, 11 Dec 2014 09:59:42 -0800

Hello Hello Hello! That was the second last episode of the year and its time for reviews, tops and other summary-type-of-bullshit. I’m a nerd that way! I like doing lists and tops of my favorite releases in the end of the year. Since I started doing this show 5 years ago, always last two episodes of the year were Best Of the Year Vancouver Edition and overall Best Of The Year episode. I feel that’s it’s important to have a separate show just for local releases, because all those local scenes around the world are the basis of the overall punk rock scene on this planet. And it’s so easy to celebrate local scene in Vancouver, because we have such a strong and diverse scene in this city. Alright, enought bullshit! Here’s the episode. There are three blocks of songs from my favorite local releases of the year and in the end of the episode I played hits from my three favorite local releases of the year. Success!

CiTR 101.9 Vancouver — Thu, 14 Nov 2013 10:06:03 -0800

Hello Hello Hello! That was a very busy and equally exciting show. A phone interview + a guest - pretty fantastic in my opinion. I started off things with an interview with John Wright who is a member of legendary NoMeansNo, Hanson Brothers, The Showbusiness Giants and The Infamous Scientists. John in collaboration with Le Trou du Diable microbrewery released a new beer called “Punk Rauch" and he will be presenting this beer to Vancouver beer and punk rock fans on November 19th at the BierCraft Restaurant on Commercial Drive. In the interview John told a little bit of history of this interesting beer project. In the second part of the show I was joined in studio by Corey Poluck who is a member of The Ballantynes, The Valuables, a reggae record spinning DJ, picture taker at theFUTURISTS, 25% of La-Ti-Da Records and obviously one of the organizers of FALL DOWN/GET DOWN festival. We talked a lot about upcoming festival and the record label. Make sure to check out La-Ti-Da Records, in my opinion it the most exciting label right now in Canada. And if you’re in Vancouver this weekend it would be illegal to miss out on a few showы of FALL DOWN/GET DOWN Festival. We also gave away two pairs of wristbands to the festival to our wonderful listeners. So good things happen to you when you do good things, for example one of those things could be listening to Rocket From Russia live on air every Thursday 10-11 am PST.

G’day G’day G’day! In this episode an interview with my new friends The Smith Street Band from Melbourne, Australia. I talked to Wil Wagner, who is a singer and a guitarist in the band. We discussed a few different topics including their new EP “Don’t Fuck With Our Dreams" which came out on Asian Man Records this year, Tazmania, the best Australian band of all time (that’s obviously Frenzal Rhomb), Australian vegetarian restaurant Lentil as Anything, drinking beer from a shoe (apparently that’s common for Aussies), playing music on the tram and buying tickets to their own show. Turned out to be a pretty fun conversation! And in the end of the show, worldwide radio premiere of a song by a local band “Porn For The Blind”. They are playing at LanaLou’s tomorrow. P.S. Thanks to Chris Bosma of Jack Knife Records for setting up this interview and Andrew Johnson for an amazing jpg file! P.S.S. The whole show I was announcing an unspecial two-hour episode. Originally station asked me to do a two hour show, but then turned out that they had someone else for that second hour. Sorry for the confusion.

Remembering Tony Sly

Hello Hello Hello! It’s been one year since Tony Sly of No Use For A Name passed away. No Use always will be one of the most important bands in my life, because they were the first proper punk rock band from North America which I saw back in 2003 at La Gabbia Music Club, Bassano de Grappa, Italy. About a month ago, the band called Scorpios came through Vancouver. This is a band which originally featured Tony Sly, Joey Cape, Jon Snodgrass and Brian Wahlstrom. They were on a tour called “Tribute to Tony Sly" and I got a chance to talk to Jon Snodgrass (Drag The River, Armchair Martian, Scorpios). We talked about this tour, how Jon met Tony and upcoming tribute to Tony Sly. Our conversation had some emotional moments and I’m very thankful to Jon that he allowed me ask those questions.

Rocket From Russia goes all the way Russian

CiTR 101.9 Vancouver — Thu, 02 May 2013 10:14:14 -0700

Privet Privet Privet! Originally, the plan for this episode was to play my interview with Erik Petersen of Mischief Brew, but unfortunately the band was denied at the border and had to cancel their show along with our interview. I found that out last night and I was pretty limited in time to prepare for this episode, because it usually takes me at least 4-5 hours to prepare for a new episode. I was thinking what should I prepare for this episode and decided to do a show with an international feel. And then I asked myself, what international punk rock scene do I know the best? And obviously, it’s Russian punk scene. Being brought up in Russia, going to shows, buying tapes, playing shows, I know quite a bit about Russian punk scene. First it sounded like a simple idea, but it ended up being quite a challenge, because I just couldn't fit all the bands which I felt important to play in this episode. So just to set the stage, I missed a lot of important Russian/Soviet punk bands, but it’s impossible to cover the whole scene in one hour episode. The main goal of this episode is to show diversity of the Soviet/Russian punk scene, different time periods and play some of my favorite songs. Not sure if that was interesting for the listeners of the show. I hope it was! Let me know if you liked any of those bands. It's not that easy for non-russian speaking fans to find music by some of those bands. Feel free to email me at rocketfromrussiacitr@gmail.com and I will be happy to tell you more about those bands and send you some music.

The second interview was with magnificent Jarrod O’Dell of The Ballantynes. The band has a brand new 7” out on La-Ti-Da Records and just got back from their US Tour.

Rocket From Russia, Episode #25

CiTR 101.9 Vancouver — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 10:04:56 -0700

Happy Hello Hello Hello! I think this episode of "Rocket From Russia" what the show is all about - new, international and local punk rock. Those are the three main aspects and types of punk rock music I try to build my show around. I started off things with a block of awesome new punk rock and fresh tracks by Bad Religion, Broadway Calls, Less Than Jake, Off With Their Heads, Alkaline Trio and RVIVR. That was probably one of the best blocks in the whole history of the show. Second block was very important to me. In that block I played songs by punk bands from Serbia and Croatia. Last Friday a football match between those two nations took place and that was the first time those two countries met on the football pitch. If you're not very familiar with relationship between those two former Yugoslavian republics on and off the pitch, check out this great article. Just to give you an idea about the kind of relationship two countries, the game started with Croatian fans booing Serbian anthem and I'm sure the same will happen in Serbia for the second game... Nationalism is stupid! And I'm sure that there are Serbs and Croats who are better than this. After watching the game I just wanted to give my positive spin on that situation and I decided to play Serbian and Croatian punk bands on the show. Great bands and great songs! Hope you'll enjoy this block! And the very last block features four songs by four awesome local bands (NEEDLES//PINS, B-Lines, The Binz and Juvenile Hall). All those four bands can be seen live tonight at the Cobalt! Come out and enjoy a great night of local music! CAMBRIDGE - Kubark [This Is Not A Victory] BAD RELIGION - My Head Is Full Of Ghosts [True North] BROADWAY CALLS - Life Is Rhythm [Comfort/Distraction] LESS THAN JAKE - View From the Middle [Greetings & Salutations] OFF WITH THEIR HEADS - Nightlife [Home] ALKALINE TRIO - I, Pessimist [My Shame Is True] RVIVR - Rainspell [The Beauty Between] MITESERS - Chiatto [Na Rubu Propasti] KURVE - Od Sutra [Su Bolje Majke] POTRES - Sukobi Krajnosti [Simboli Revolucije] DEBELI PRECJEDNIK - Zaboravi [Bruto Slavo / VBK] NEEDLES//PINS - Best Friend [12:34] B-LINES - Social Retard [B-Lines 7''] THE BINZ - [The Binz EP #02] Hale-Bopp JUVENILE HALL - No Cops [Magazine Collage] LEFTOVER CRACK - One Dead Cop [Fuck World Trade]

Fundrive Special

CiTR 101.9 Vancouver — Thu, 07 Mar 2013 10:12:16 -0800

Happy Hello Hello Hello, my friends! This was a FUNDRIVE special episode. What it is FUNDRIVE? It's an annual event when the station asks our listeners for support. We are non-profit radiostation and we don't bombard our listeners with commercials, so we don't have too much income coming in. This year, we’re aiming to raise $30,000 in pledges to support our quality programming and operations, and to purchase new broadcast boards for all three studios. For me it's a great chance to say THANK YOU to the listeners of the show. I contacted some of my most active listeners and wanted to give back to them through playing their request. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to contact all of my listeners, because I know that there are people who are listening and I just don't have their contact info. So the whole episode is built from requests of the listeners of the show and little bit of The Real McKenzies in the end of the show :) Thanks to everyone who has made donations to Rocket From Russia and the station!

Rocket From Russia, Episode #11

CiTR 101.9 Vancouver — Thu, 13 Dec 2012 10:04:59 -0800

Hello Hello Hello! Welcome to the episode #11 of weekly punk rock radioshow Rocket From Russia on CiTR 101.9 fm in Vancouver, BC, Canada! In the very first block I decided to focus on a great Canadian punk rock label called When’s Lunch Records from Edmonton, AB. I have a lot respect for the guys who run small record labels because they love what they do and they are passionate about music. Andy who runs When’s Lunch is one of those guys. I decided to play a song from each song signed to his label (Old Wives, The Blame-Its, The Split Up’s, Public Noise Concern, Still Automatic, Pulley). Second block…..wooooooof! Second block is awesome! I had this idea to have a block of songs and each song is a punch in the face and I think I completed the mission pretty successfully! Mega songs by Golliwog (Slovenia), Smartbomb (USA), A Wilhelm Scream (USA), Part Time Killer (Finland), Up For Nothing (USA), Purkinje (Spain), СМЕХ (Russia). And, as always, third block includes songs by the band which are performing in Vancouver soon. Invasives are playing on Friday, December 14th at Lana Lou’s and Kleins96 at Zoo Shop.

Interviews with Despite Everything & Septic Flesh (Greece)

CiTR 101.9 Vancouver — Thu, 29 Nov 2012 10:04:49 -0800

Hello Hello Hello! That was a very interesting episode - two interviews with two Greek bands. Success! Not that often we get a chance to see Greek bands live, but this October punk band Despite Everything and metal band Septic Flesh performed in Vancouver. Obviously, me and my Greek friend Manos had to talk to them. Personally, for me it was very interesting to talk to independent bands from the other side of the world. We talked to Jack and Peio of Despite Everything and Fotis of Septic Flesh. Both bands play a little bit different type of music, have different status back home, but all three guys were extremely passionate about their music and what they do. I want to thank my friend Manos for helping out setting up those interviews, translating from Greek to English and being awesome friend!

Hello Hello Hello! The whole episode was built around my recent interview with Ryan Young, who is the main guy in awesome band called Off With Their Heads. In my opinion the interview turned out to be supergreat! Ryan told about their new studio album, challenges and successes of working with Bill Stevenson, crazy story about their split 7” with Discharge and being on more than 20 different record labels. Great stuff! Check it out!

Rocket From Russia, Episode #7

CiTR 101.9 Vancouver — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 10:07:45 -0800

Hello Hello Hello…or…Ahoy to the listeners of this radioshow and podcast! New episode has arrived and it includes a lot of new music. In the very first block I tried to combine bands from different scenes and even different countries under the roof of one genre (at least in my head). Its for you to judge if this plan has worked and this block sounded organic, but it includes fresh songs by The Riverboat Gamblers, The Hives, Heike Has The Giggles, Toys That Kill, Bobgoblin, NEEDLES//PINS, One Man Army. Then I played a bit of reggae music. I though that I haven’t played reggae music on the show in a while and second block includes songs by Botanic Project (from Belarus), Roughhouse (Jamaica/Germany) and legendary Jimmy Cliff. And the final block includes songs by The New Rochelles, The Isotopes, Off With Their Heads. Last two bands are playing in Vancouver this Friday, November 16 and I’m super excited to see OWTH for the first time in my life. And I played a song by The New Rochelles because their member Noah “Rookie Rochelle” WK has been a victim of hurricane Sandy and is going through some rough time. The guys from The Isotopes started a very good initiative releasing t-shirts and supporting this nice guy! Check out Evan’s interview with The Punk Site where he explains the whole situation - http://thepunksite.com/interviews.php?page=isotopes MCRACKINS - Tattoo [Comicbooks And Bubblegum] THE RIVERBOAT GAMBLERS - Heart Conditions [The Wolf You Feed] THE HIVES - 1000 Answers [Lex Hives] HEIKE HAS THE GIGGLES - Dear Fear [Crowd Surfing] TOYS THAT KILL - The Nervous Rocks [Fambly 42] BOBGOBLIN - Feel No Pain [Love Lost For Blood Lust: Part I] NEEDLES//PINS - Hale Bop [12:34] ONE MAN ARMY - I Got Hung Up [She's An Alarm!] BOTANIC PROJECT - Rastamany [Reanimacia] ROUGHHOUSE - Not A Dream [Love Divine] JIMMY CLIFF - Guns of Brixton [Rebirth] THE NEW ROCHELLES - Quit Givin' Me The Stinkeye [It's New!] THE ISOTOPES - Operation: Vamos [Blood Diamond] OFF WITH THEIR HEADS - S.O.S.

Rocket From Russia, Episode #6

CiTR 101.9 Vancouver — Thu, 08 Nov 2012 10:12:22 -0800

Triple Hello my friends! Wow! That was a great show! At least I think so! So many phone calls and tweets from regular listeners! Thanks guys for your support! This makes me mega happy! In the first block I decided to play new songs by a pretty well known bands in the punk rock world - Bad Religion, NOFX, Propagandhi, Anti-Flag, Pennywise, The Bouncing Souls. In my opinion, all those “big” punk bands becoming better and better songwriters over time. Of course we all love their early works, those classic albums like Suffer, Ribbed, The Terror State, About Time, How I Spent My Summer Vacation. But I really believe that their new records are very strong, but sometimes being overlooked by some fans. Second block has a bit of international feel and sound of horns and debauchery! New tracks by Larry And His Flask (Oregon, USA), The Locos (Madrid, Spain), The Poseurs (Moscow, Russia), Dead Rejects (Jersey City, USA), Leningrad (Saint Petersburg, Russia). And the final block represents new 7” called Lobotomized! released by nice folks at Manic Pogo. This a short Ramones tribute which includes covers performed by 2 Sick Monkeys, The Dehumanizers, Hanson Brothers and Invasives. And I played on air songs by two last bands. AGAINST ME! - The Disco Before the Breakdown [The Disco Before the Breakdown] BAD RELIGION - Fuck You [True North] NOFX - I, Fatty [Self Entitled] PROPAGANDHI - Status Update [Failed States] ANTI-FLAG - Turn a Blind Eye [The General Strike] PENNYWISE - Stand Strong [All Or Nothing] THE BOUNCING SOULS - DFA [Comet] LARRY AND HIS FLASK - Swing [Hobo's Lament] THE LOCOS - Contrato Limosna [Tiempos Difíciles] THE POSEURS - Shoplifting [The Poseurs] DEAD REJECTS - All Washed Up [Sleeping Is For Suckers] LENINGRAD - Dudu [Ryba] HANSON BROTHERS - It's A Long Way Back [Lobotomized!] INVASIVES - We're A Happy Family [Lobotomized!] OFF WITH THEIR HEADS - Clear The Air [In Desolation]

Interview with Vinnie Fiorello (Less Than Jake, Paper + Plastick)

CiTR 101.9 Vancouver — Thu, 25 Oct 2012 10:05:58 -0700

Hello Hello Hello! Here's the new episode of the weekly punk rock show, "Rocket From Russia". This episode was built around my recent interview with Vinnie Fiorello. Vinnie is known in the punk rock world as the drummer and lyricist of the legendary ska-punk band, Less Than Jake. He is also involved in several other interesting projects. He owns a record label called Paper + Plastick Records, which I am a big fan of. The main focus of Paper + Plastic is art and music. That resonates with me personally and a lot punk kids around the world. The label has released music by such a great bands like Red City Radio, A Wilhelm Scream, The Ataris, Frank Turner, The Dopamines, The Flatliners, The Gamits, Carpenter and many others. The interview with Vinnie turned out to be one of the most interesting punk conversations I have ever had in my life. Some of the things he said were extremely insightful and helped me better understand the way a few things are done within the punk rock world. We discussed how he discovers and signs bands, some recent and upcoming releases on Paper + Plastick and how stories like recent conflict on stage at The Ataris show doesn't affect him as a label owner. The interview turned out to be over 30 minutes and I couldn't fit the whole conversation in the one hour episode. If you're interested in checking out the whole thing, the full version of our conversation is available below.

Final episode of We All Fall Down, new show and Interview with Kreator

CiTR 101.9 Vancouver — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 13:15:11 -0700

Hello Hello Hello! That was the last episode of punk rock radio show We All Fall Down. I inherited the show from my good friend Marielle. I’ve been a host of We All Fall Down for almost 3 years now and I think I’m ready for the change. It all started with a change of time slot and then I decided to change the name of the show. I think I came up with a name which reflects my personality and my background. So the new show is called Rocket From Russia and the new timeslot is 10-11am on Thursdays on CiTR 101.9 fm and citr.ca. But it won’t affect all the podcast listeners. I will still have all the new (and old) episodes available here. I’d like to thank my friend Marielle who gave me a chance to host my own radioshow and made my dream come true! Thanks for all support, knowledge and fun I got from you! Marielle is the best! Much love! This episode was build around the interview with Mille Petrozza of Kreator. My friend Manos and I interviewed Mille last week, before their set at the Rickshaw. We discussed Kreator’s new album “Phantom Antichrist”, Mille’s favorite punk bands and his love for John Sinclair. In the end of the show Marielle called in and we said goodbye to We All Fall Down. Well, stay tuned for the first episode of Rocket From Russia. And thank you for your support!

The reason for my absence was my trip to motherland Russia. I’ve spent there almost three weeks and I was so happy to visit my hometown Novosibirsk first time in 5 years. That was super fantastic time! I had a chance to spend time with my family, my Dad, my old friends and people I grew up with. I also played a show with my friends, band called PMA from Novosibirsk. You can watch our set here. And we also shot a silly video for a song we wrote together. The video can be watched below. New episode! Loads of new music. Opening block with some Siberian punk rock. Then a block including new songs by NOFX, Propagandhi, Brixton Robbers, Dead Rejects, Morning Glory.

Interviews with Night Birds and The Atom Age

CiTR 101.9 Vancouver — Thu, 09 Aug 2012 13:08:25 -0700

Hello Hello Hello my friends! That was a very fun episode! Two great interviews! First one was scheduled to be with Joe Keller, bassist of an awesome band called Night Birds, but during the interview the whole band joined Joe and it turned to be super fun and entertaining interview featuring all four members of Night Birds!

Best of 2012 so far. Guest: Tim of Punk International

CiTR 101.9 Vancouver — Thu, 02 Aug 2012 13:01:00 -0700

Hello Hello Hello! Obviously we started the show with a song by No Use For a Name in memoriam of Tony Sly who passed two days ago. I was shocked when I found that out… NUFAN was the first band I’ve seen live and always had a special place in my heart. My deepest condolences to Tony’s wife and daughters, FAT family, NUFAN band members and friends. I had my friend Tim over as a guest. Tim was the first person I’ve met in Canada and he always been an example of music fan for me. His knowledge about punk rock is endless. We’ve played songs of some of our favorite album released this year.

This week I didn’t have any guests and I had lots of new music to play. There were too many bands I was excited to play - The Dopamines, Lowtalker, Battle Snakes, OK Pilot…actually all other bands are fantastic and I was stoked to play their amazing songs too! Yis! I gave away a pair of tickets to go see Misfits and no one called in to get Strike Anywhere tickets. Actually, my friend Ilia whm called from Russia, answered the question correctly and technically won the tickets, but obviously he couldn’t make it to the show. Also Jonny Bones and my friends from Parksville called in. So that was a phone call day! Thanks for calling and listening! Obviously, I went to see Strike Anywhere at the Rickshaw. I interviewed Thomas Barnett, singer of SA, and I’m planning to play the clip of this interview next week on air.

This week I had two beautiful guests, Melissa James and Kate Kroll, the creators of the movie No Fun City, a film about Vancouver’s music scene. I think it was a success! Melissa and Kate were awesome, they told lots of interesting facts about production and the movie itself and I played only local Vancouver punk bands, to show the awesomeness of our scene.
