SOVIET HERITAGEUnderstanding Pink Reason
Remember when Little Girl Lost came out and everyone was shocked that Drew Barrymore did coke when she was 12? That shit is small potatoes as far as busted childhoods go. Right after the fall of the Soviet Union, Kevin Failure’s parents moved from Wisconsin to Siberia (Siberia!), where 12-year-old Kevin ran away to spend a year hanging out with Russian junkies and ODing on pills before returning to Green Bay to front a number of Cheese Belt hardcore bands. This shouldn’t make the music of Kevin’s band, Pink Reason, sound any better than if it were being played by some suburban kids, but whatever, it does. It makes all the heavy guitar dirges and bursts of Eastern European punk that much heavier and punker. Deal with it. Oh, he also knows everything about Russian underground music, which he’s gonna tell you about on the next page.

Way to make Grebenshikov sound like a badass douchebag. He happens to be a deeply respected buddhist and poet. You forgot to mention he’s the Russian Dylan. just google Bodhisattvas of Babylon for his cult website | | Anonymous, on Sep 12, 2008 wrote:
