🇺🇦 Side-Line stands with Ukraine - Show your Support

Out now is the debut album “Start” by the synthpop formation . The band which was formed in 2012 consists of the Moscow based duo Maria Mar and Yaroslav. Their debut, out via Music Group, counts 11 tracks and sounds surprisingly Western European. Says the band: “Although we live in Russia, we prefer to work with European sound engineers, for example from Germany or Holland, because that is where our music stylistics comes from.”

The band debuted with their first EP “I know” in 2012, offering 5 tracks. That EP was followed by the dark-industrial single “Resource” in September 2013. Two more singles followed, “Herzschlag” and “Ego Love”.

Below is already the video for “Reason”, a track from the band’s new album “Start”.

Since you’re here …

… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.

If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
