I can’t get enough of this descriptor: “Russian Turbo Polka Metal” act RUSSKAJA (out of Austria) have yet another single from their upcoming album. “Shapka” (literally that brimless hat with the puffy brim and earflaps) is from Turbo Polka Party, due out 03 Feb 2023 via Napalm Records. It follows up previous pre-release tracks “No Border”, “Russki Style”, and their cover of “Last Christmas”.
