Brutto
High-octane Belarusian punk with a muscular, anthemic edge. Aggressive guitars and gang vocals built for protest, heavy lifting, and unyielding defiance.

Brutto sounds like a physical confrontation captured on tape. It is lean, muscular punk rock that strips away the whimsical ska elements of its predecessor, Lyapis Trubetskoy, in favor of a harder, more disciplined sound. The music is dominated by thick, distorted guitar riffs and a rhythm section that hits with the precision of a heavyweight boxer.
What makes Brutto distinctive is their 'agit-pop' aesthetic, combining political protest with a celebration of physical strength and sports culture. The vocals are often delivered as collective shouts or gang chants, creating a sense of solidarity and overwhelming power. It is music that refuses to be ignored, characterized by a relentless forward momentum and a total lack of irony.
Start with the album 'Underdog' to hear the band's mission statement. It perfectly captures their transition into a more aggressive, stripped-back sound that defines the modern Belarusian and Ukrainian underground rock scenes.
Brutto is a Belarusian punk rock band founded by Siarhei Mikhalok on 1 September 2014 after the demise of the band Lyapis Trubetskoy.
