A buddy of mine forwarded this link to me. Pretty funky. Apparently a group of Brits of Ukraine descent.

Otters turned me onto their 1993 EP "Pizni Iz The Smiths" awhile ago. They're actually members of The Wedding Present who sang a John Peel session in Ukrainian, and it just caught on. Good takes on "The Queen Is Dead" and "What Difference Does It Make" too. They did a couple EPs, disappeared for awhile, then came back in 2002 with a full-length called <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Respublika-Ukrainians/dp/B00006LI19/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1203949249&sr=8-2"> Respublika</a> that has mostly originals plus a couple of Pistols covers. Best bet might be their <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Istoriya-Best-Ukrainians/dp/B0001ENXW2/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1203949506&sr=1-4">Best Of</a>.
