The Hardkiss
About
The Hardkiss is a Ukrainian rock band formed in Kyiv in 2011 by vocalist Julia Sanina and guitarist-producer Valeriy Bebko, completed by bassist Klym Lysiuk and drummer Yevhen Kibeliev. Blending alternative rock with electronic and pop elements - a sound they call "progressive pop" - the band has become one of Ukraine's most prominent acts, winning multiple YUNA Music Awards and placing second in the Ukrainian national selection for Eurovision 2016. Since Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022, they have channelled their platform into charity tours and humanitarian fundraising, while continuing to release new music and expand their European audience.
