| Blast Unit Moscow - Footsteps In The Snow |
I'm not against Pussy Riot by any
stretch of the imagination, I think they are standing up for a very good cause
in the face of unbelievable ignorance, but I bet there a load of Russian bands
who just want to rock out and not have the politics attached to them.
Nevertheless, Blast Unit Moscow have adopted a political stance on their new
single, 'Footsteps In The Snow', not to mention their video which focuses
heavily on the Russian-Ukrainian standoff of recent weeks. On the face of it
this is a stomping indie-rock song about your girl walking out on you and
following her footsteps through the snow with a steady 4/4 beat ringing in your
ears. But this could just as easily be a song about losing the sisterly
relationship between Crimea and Ukraine as it walks reluctantly in to the
blizzard under the arm of a new Russian lover. Musically speaking, 'Footsteps
In The Snow' lifts from bands like U2, the Killers and a softer version of the
Foo Fighters but it's the striking video and its timing that is most remarkable
here.
