Skryabin

About

Skryabin is a Ukrainian rock band founded in 1989 in Novoyavorivsk, Lviv region, by singer-songwriter Andriy "Kuzma" Kuzmenko and his bandmates. Over more than two decades, the group released 17 studio albums and gave over 2,000 concerts, evolving from synth-pop and post-punk into pop-rock while writing almost entirely in Ukrainian. Kuzma died in a road accident on 2 February 2015, aged 46; he was posthumously named Hero of Ukraine in 2020. The surviving musicians continue to perform his catalogue under a family licensing agreement, with guest vocalist Yurko Yurchenko (Yurkesh) joining from 2018.
