Optimus Prime (punk, Europe, Russian, effects, screamo)

MySpace.com - Optimus Prime - Moscow - Punk - www.myspace.com/optimusprimemoscow

This band never caught my attention until I heard their new split w/ Gone With the Pain.

First screamo band out of Russia? lawlz. They're really into phaser effects and stuff. Plus they have a viola player.

The best song (in my opinion) is "Hold Out Your Hands" - it's addicting.
"Song of Unborn Children" has to be 2nd.

there are a lot of screamo bands coming out from russia. i remember talking to this one guy on slsk before, he shared ****loads of russian history with me. Optimus Prime isn't the first though. i forgot what it was, but i'm pretty sure it had a bald dude in it.

Ah, word. I just never hear much about Russia. It's always most rest of Europe besides the eastern portion, although I'm starting to hear a bit more and more slowly. I know they werent obviously the first, but this was the first one I've heard that isnt totally obscure or dead.

edit:
other Russian screamo: Marschak
But anyways, lets stay on topic. I've been listening to this bands songs off the split a lot the past 2 weeks. It really grew on me.
