Mad Heads, a Ukrainian psychobilly band from Kyiv, was formed in 1991 by Vadym Krasnooky. They released their debut album Psycholula in 1996 on Crazy Love Records and began touring internationally. Subsequent albums Mad In Ukraine (1998) and Naked Flame (2002) further established their reputation. In 2003, they released Contact, featuring songs in Ukrainian. The band evolved into Mad Heads XL in 2004, incorporating a brass section and shifting to ska punk with folk influences. They performed at major festivals like Tavria Games and supported the Orange Revolution by playing on Maidan Nezalezhnosti. Their album Nadiya Yea was released in 2005 and became one of the bestselling local releases that year. The band continues to perform internationally.
