The Vivisectors "Case History Of John Doe" self-released

Straight out of sub-artic Russia, The Vivisectors combine surf, fuzz, and spaghetti-western with precision. Until now, I knew of no Russian surf bands. I was expecting to Euro-surf. To my surprise, A Case History Of John Doe is infused with rich texture and an innovative spirit. From to the galloping twang of "Intro", to the springy "Big Diff", to darker songs like "Russki Psycho", or "KGB Moscow Nights", the song gets heavy. Heavy not with distortion... Heavy with attitude. I'm not sure how long these dudes have been around, but if they keep it up, Moscow may soon be known as a hotbed of surf music.
