Kultura

Inspired by the group's 1993 tour of Ukraine as guests of the Ministry of Culture. Deals with the effect of Western cultural imperialism on Ukraine and its young people.

  • "Blending East and West - not only is this a foot-stomping dance of Westernified Ukrainian folk music, it's also a thought-provoking analysis of recent political events. "UkrainAmerica" brings Chumbawamba-style vocals into battle with frenzied mandolins just as commercialism clashes with capitalism. Musically, unlike the reality, the result is the perfect combination." - VOX
  • "Combine punk energy, Eastern European folk and you get The Ukrainians -- arch-exponents of stomping, rollicking, controlled mayhem. In turns plaintive and shit-kickingly boisterous, Kultura is as intoxicating as ice-cold vodka knocked back in one" - MOJO
