“There are not many on the Russian independent scene of collectives that have the energy, time and everything else to record and release a full-fledged album, and even fewer such bands, whose releases are really expected, are long and impatient. A little more than two years ago, TOTR, which by that time had already performed at almost all venues in the capital, produced the eponymous EP.The explosive mixture of modernized hard rock and psychedelic stoner turned out to be catastrophically small and the indie community held its breath in Waiting was a long two years.
The debut album TOTR carries the symbolic name Rock'n'Roll Side, and, dammit, it completely justifies itself. Because it is written by people who do not go by the road, beaten by hundreds of identical template groups, but stubbornly move along their twisty, complex path, people who believe in the magic of real rock'n'roll. "Even when mankind dies out, guitar riffs will sound in their super-modern, built-in players in the brain,” says frontman Yevgeny Chertolyas. TOTR go to the principle. Rock'n'Roll Side was recorded using vintage equipment - from microphones and guitars from the 60s to the 70s to the console of information from the same era. However, the recorded material does not sound like a bearded echo from the past or an attempt to blindly copy Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath. This is the new music of the new era, played dashingly, fervently and wisely. The album is heard in one breath, as something completely new for Russia, to which only now the trend of rock rivayvala. It’s a trip album that brings you to another reality, where the melodious key-shifts and nervous guitar riffs miraculously mix, swift and all-absorbing like a hurricane over a red-hot desert. “….Totr….~
