Oh my God, FLIT! They may not be that well-known but
I know them now and their music is GREAT!! I'm an old Punk Rocker (not 'old' but I used to follow some of that) and the first song that you posted up there sounds almost like
classic western Punk. I love it!
Ruslana and Orange Revolution.... I also saw her in the Netflix film "Winter On Fire", Maidan 2014-2015. That really made me a fan of hers. (Please know that there is also an Oliver Stone film of Maidan out there, but it's
junk, very dishonest. Don't get that film confused with "Winter On Fire" which was all about the people.)
I could write so much more but trying not to make this too long (
thank you again for being so informative) I want to just throw this song out here because it's kind of my present Punk-ish favorite. Kind of techno-punk or something. Lykke Li, Swedish, about my age, this was the very first song of hers that I discovered about 12 years ago. She isn't really Punk, she has her very own sound but it's raw and simple and I love her early music to death. This is an original version of "I Follow Rivers":
My favorite version of that song can be found on youtube if you search "i follow rivers magician remix extended" (without the quotes!), it should be near the top. It was for me here in the USA anyway.
