"Art-punk" is a handy tag that Moscow-based band "mytishchi v ogne" has put on itself, perhaps most of all corresponds to the main tasks of "mytischi"
- to entertain, to fool around, but also to talk about important things.
Eccentric live performances with stand-up comedy elements as well as juggling of musical genres have become the hallmarks of "mytischi".
The history of the band as we know it now starts in 2018 when the final line-up was formed and lyrics switched to russian language.
"mytishchi" release a four-track "Espionage EP" in 2019 and set off on a first little tour, thus gradually gaining more attention in Moscow as well as in
the rest of the country.
In April 2021 "mytishchi v ogne" release their first full length album "Хорошо у нас в аду" which was vastly critically acclaimed.
The album received positive reviews from authoritative online media such as "Sadwave", "СТОРОНА", "E: \ Music", emphasizing the musical eclecticism of the band.
In support of the album "mytishchi" release two music videos ("Мрак внутри", "Хорошо у нас в аду") and set off on a month long russian tour late spring.
In summer-fall the band performs at "Ural Music Night", "Forrest King" and "Moscow Music Week“ festivals.
Not being able to sit around idly, in October 2021 "mytischi v ogne" present the new EP "Affirmations", consisting of three tracks, and also release a video for the song "Подозрительный предмет" which was included into the weekly selection of the well-known news agency "Meduza", and songs from "Affirmations" EP were featured in a large number of playlists on all major streaming platforms.
