Agitators Punk-rock Moscow

The band was formed in suburban town Reutov in 2006 by three mates, grown up on the same street, studied in the same school and loving the same kind of music. First band's steps were experimental - a kind of a mix of grunge/post-punk and garage-rock. First record called "The Streets" was never published, but few tracks took place on following albums. The same year Agitators start to play first local gigs. In 2007 guys get in touch famous Moscow punk-rocker Aleksey "Red" Mitin and finding lots in common in punk-rock attitude, take him into the band as a lead singer. This line up changed the band`s sound to classic American 90th punk-rock sound. In December 2008 Agitators present their debut album "I`ll never forget those days".
