There are 2 bands sharing the name: the 1st one is from Ukraine and the 2nd is from Canada (also of ukrainian origin actually).
1) hardcore band from Kharkiv Ukraine, the first 7" vinyl is coming soon.. http://zrada.bandcamp.com/
2) Formed in Winnipeg in 2005, Zrada has been forging unforgettable music ever since. Zrada has taken their Ukrainian roots into the modern world by fusing it with the music they grew up with. Inspired by Balkan and Slavic melodies; sultry gypsy dances; So-Cal punk rock, reggae and ska, Zrada’s sound is a tight maelstrom of intricate melodies, unyielding grooves, and emotional beauty. Zrada’s members were brought together by their heritage, love of good music, a passion for their ancestral homeland and debauchery. This paradox leads to Zrada’s distinct sound.
Zrada released its eponymous debut in September ’09 – and there was much rejoicing. Containing 16 tracks of romance and mayhem – the album offers something for all listeners. Zrada’s four song EP, “Return of the Wagon”, was released in 2006 to much fanfare at multiple sold out shows.
Incorporated throughout their live shows are their interpretations of several traditional folk songs, but it is their original material that gets the kids and monks dancing. The compositions, written in a folk style, project the same emotion and imagery as the traditional songs of their ancestors.
Zrada is: Andriy Michalchyshyn, the band’s main songwriter, composer and vocalist; Nick Luchak, the curator of Zrada’s complex percussion; Taras Babiak, the instigator of the bands unique bass grooves; Mykhas Chabluk, the relentless violinist and vocalist; Andrijko Semeniuk, the accordionist, vocalist and master of all things keyed; and Dobryan Tracz, the elder statesman, injects violent and destructive guitar rifts into the songs which complete Zrada’s sound. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Zrada">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
