AREAL. The band was started in 1999 in Kyiv with three 12-years-old students of a secondary school and one bassist. Right off the bat, the band began an endless process of searching for their sound and style. First success came in 2003 when AREAL took part in Chevrona Ruta and Podyh festivals and won some considerable prizes. Hereupon the band began to play on various club parties and festivals in Kyiv and sometimes in other Ukrainian cities. Soon the first recordings began to arise. Years 2004-2005 were spent by AREAL playing evergreens on bikers parties and in Kyiv pubs. In 2006 AREAL's songs began to appear on some Ukrainian radio stations, and soon afterwards an official website was launched. Currently the band is preparing and recording songs for their first album release.
