From Russia with Love…and ROCK.
Ever since The Beatles famously rocked the Kremlin, Russia has nurtured a dedicated rock and roll audience. If there was ever any doubt that Russians could rock, Moscow-based rock project Apache Rose are effortlessly self-depreciating and fun on their single Tiny Love, highly recommended for fans of hook-heavy bands like Arctic Monkeys and the Black Keys.
AR’s music is written and produced by Ilya Novokhatskiy, featuring a rotating cast of supporting musicians. Ilya spent time in the US as a child, where he fell in love with American and British rock music, then with the Seattle scene. So it’s no wonder their new single is filled with 90’s rock easter eggs.
From the artist: Our debut single Tiny Love is an aggressive (in a good way), feel-good song about failure and perseverance.
In interview with Gig Radar, Ilya adds: We always write the music first and then the lyrics. That way the music provides the emotional fuel for lyric-writing. And often words just come out of my mouth being driven my the song. The first lines of Tiny Love are “My tiny love is not loud enough” is actually a reference to Soundgarden’s song Loud Love and the Stone Temple Pilots album ‘Tiny Music’. That’s the 90-s channeling through me)).
And having blurted out that phrase the whole song concept came together. It’s a song about being angry and frustrated that you and your efforts are not enough, but you still hang in there and bet everything on your performance.”

Artist Biography:
Apache Rose are a rock band from Moscow, Russia.
Their single Tiny Love is an aggressive (in a good way), feel-good song about failure and perseverance. The song is a high-energy track with angry verses, monumental choruses, a tender bridge and a blazing guitar solo.
Apache Rose is up-and-coming band from Moscow, Russia, that epitomizes a large part of a new underground rock scene in the country: fresh, energetic and (most importantly) English-speaking on a very fluent level.
But unlike local peers they aim primarily at English speaking countries. And they have been successful with that – Tiny Love is being picked up by Spotify playlists and the band has already built a small but growing following in the US, mostly on Facebook and Soundcloud.
