Ukrainian music 2026
Hardly a comprehensive list, but should be a fine representation of this year's releases by Ukrainian artists. Some obvious items, some you'd likely overlook otherwise. There's surely more, but this is what already was in the database here or what I could quickly add |
| 1 |  | The Hardkiss
Grey Hound
LP
Genre: Synth Pop / Rock
Description: our very own Amaranthe with better songwriting
Reviewing plans: will probably get to this one eventually |
| 2 |  | YUVI
Viskra
LP
Genre: Glitch Pop, Break-beat
Description: dreamy, glitchy, indie, electronic
Reviewing plans: unlikely, not enough genre awareness on my part. This is a job for a really genre-savvy person |
| 3 |  | DK Energetyk
86.4 ФМ
EP
Genre: Post-Punk
Description: leaders of the ongoing post-punk revival in Ukraine
Reviewing plans: uncertain. As a minimum, I will cover their first two releases. There is a high chance that I'll do their whole discography minus the live album |
| 4 |  | Boombox (Ukr)
Живий
EP
Genre: Rock/Reggae/Hip-Hop
Description: a classic rock band from the 2000s returning after a long slumber.
Reviewing plans: Review already available |
| 5 |  | Palindrom
Декілька пісень невизначеності (ч.1)
LP
Genre: started with trip-hop/hip-hop, moved on to rock and metal
Reviewing plans: Unlikely. I believe I've already said everything I could say about this guy in my reviews for his older stuff |
| 6 |  | Drudkh
Thaw
EP
Genre: Black Metal of course
Description: You know the band already.
Reviewing plans: review already done by garas |
| 7 |  | Kekht Arakh
Pale Swordsman
LP
Genre: Black Metal with Folk leanings
Description: a BM visionary from Mykolaiv
Reviewing plans: Hawks already did it |
| 8 |  | Small Depo
Пригоди
LP
Genre: Post Punk
Description: more Post Punk from Ukraine
Reviewing plans: possible, but unlikely. I think I'll do enough post-punk reviewing with DK Energetyk |
| 9 |  | Karna
Перша Карпатська Симфонія
Acoustic Compilation
Genre: Nu-Metal
Description: One of the few decent non-Black Metal metal bands in Ukraine
Reviewing plans: I don't think so. I love the band, but I think you need to understand the lyrics to get into Karna. |
| 10 |  | Ellia
Тим, кого це може стосуватися
EP
Genre: Emo/Post-Hardcore
Description: Finally, a Ukrainian emo band! Sweet voice, nice riffs |
