Fusing metal, punk, ska and polka, RUSSKAJA call for peace with their most heavy-hitting album yet.
Stand up, couch potatoes – it’s time to get moving. High voltage party polka virtuosos RUSSKAJA provide the most danceable heavy album of early 2023 with Turbo Polka Party, out February 3 via Napalm Records.
Hailing from Austria but wearing their Ukrainian and Russian heritages on their sleeves, RUSSKAJA present their hardest-hitting studio album to date, once again mixing elements of metal, punk, ska and polka to create an addictive mixture you can’t help but move to.
Today, the band has released the new album’s first single, No Borders, alongside an animated official music video. Although they are one of the most entertaining bands in rock, RUSSKAJA have never strayed away from clear political statements. The band, known for utilizing Soviet imagery as a nod to their cultural background, sends a clear sign against war – calling for peace and humanity on Turbo Polka Party. This message is particularly emphasized on No Borders – reflective of the cries for peace RUSSKAJA stated in the wake of the Ukrainian/Russian tensions flaring earlier this year:
“No borders, no wars. We‘re equal, all the same. No nations, no fighting. Just stop this game”
Guitarist/songwriter/producer Engel Mayr about No Borders: “Besides the incredibly important message of the song we’re also really happy we did another Video with the great Juppi Juppsen again who has done some of our greatest visuals like “Energia” & “El Pueblo Unido” in the past!”
