Editorial Reviews

Product Description
"Punk-Opera: CheLennon" is based on rare political songs and interviews of John Lennon -- brilliantly performed in post-punk by The OZ from St. Petersburg, Russia! The Oz stresses that this is not your ordinary cover album. "The main idea for the album is to show a life of a man through the songs, words and life of John," says Igor Salnikov of The Oz. "The sound is made 'a little' more aggressive than John used to do, but still the songs have the same melodic beauty and power. The goal was to understand all sorts of 'revolutions' that John Lennon experienced during his life, just as a regular human being and to put them into the realities of the present world. We try to show a little different understanding of John Lennon and really hope that people will see what we mean." About The Oz: The OZ was formed in the summer of 2005 in St. Petersburg, Russia, when musicians from several unrelated bands started working together on a project of punk and post-punk covers of political and obscure John Lennon songs. The band frequently performs in St. Petersburg and Moscow clubs and festivals.
