Based in Minsk, capital of Belarus, Dlina Volny have openly joined the fight for democracy in their country. As you may know it, the fraudulent re-election of Lukashenko, often described as Europe’s last dictator, provoked a huge wave of contestation and protest in this former Soviet state. In order to support the movement, the trio comprising Alex Shishlo on keyboards, Vad Mikutski on guitars and Masha Zinevitch on vocals have shared an urgent and uplifting anthem for people’s rights, freedom and truth: “Whatever Happens Next”. “It’s Your Time To Rule / Time To Stay Alive / Whatever Is Coming Our Way /We Can Fight It Back!”, she sings in this combative post-punk track which was produced by Johnny Jewel. Listen below and get the single via Bandcamp.

Belarus trio Dlina Volny follow on from their debut on Italians Do It Better with another single drawing from post-punk and cold wave. In “I’m Not Allowed,” they encapsulate with urgency the post-Soviet reality of fear, love, and rebellion. “This is a protest against fear, self-doubt & prohibition,” detailed the band’s singer Masha Zinevitch. “It is a call to action, a search for happiness, & a rhythm to follow. It is our escape from the crushing reality into the beautiful nowhere. The city scenes in the video were shot in the neighborhoods of our hometown Minsk”.

Love & Rebellion are an integral part of this journey.” Watch the Begi Bratan-directed video and buy the track on Bandcamp below.
