You won’t get enough of “CIGARETTE AFTER SCHOOL”, a Ukrainian post-punk trio based in Montreal, led by the charismatic singer and bassist Myroslav Murha! “Loud but emotionally clear music”, “ADHD punk”, “Rock for the brave and the desperate”: that’s how the band members describe their work! Surely making its way into Montreal’s local scene, “CIGARETTE AFTER SCHOOL” has been playing in multiple venues around the city, slowly building its own fanbase and has release first EP this year “NOTHING BUT A GAME”.
