Bloody Russians

“We never know what the next record will sound like and, for us, there’s no formula. I think that’s pretty prog rock.”
Mike Sullivan

“We’re a progressive band in that we don’t know what we’re doing!” laughs Mike Sullivan, the guitarist and founder of heavy instrumental rock’n’roll darlings Russian Circles.

For 15 years, the band – completed by co-founding drummer Dave Turncrantz and bassist Brian Cook who joined in 2009 – have been hailed as pioneers of American post-rock. You’ll see why once you give them a listen, as their postmodern soundscape is built on experimental, technical riffing being supported by an energetic backbone of a rhythm section.
