Pop S.A. history shortcut:
In the spring of 2002 Ivan and ... Enforcement Administration drummer [Vsevolod Kvitsinsky] (also played live drums in Hot Zex during 1996 - 1998) conspired to form the band for playing songs to their music tastes. Both were inspired by some ideas in forward fusion of metal, indie-rock, alternative pop and punk. By the fall of the same year Pop S.A. were formed and soon after they performed new stuff at several gigs in their native city. In the begining of 2003 the band left studio with 2 demos: "First" and "Clowns Inside Me" (only 2 recorded tracks with Vsevolod on vocals and drums). But as it turned out, this year was very sad for the players and friends... After shock and several months of boredom they started rehearsing with Andrey Sologub on drums. A few months later guitarist Daniil Krasilov joined the band and they began pounding out riffs, noises and feedback as if played together for a long time.
In memory of Vsevolod Kvitsinsky (15/10/1976 - 27/04/2003)
