“They tour the world on a shoestring, traveling countries as remote as Vietnam, Kazakhstan, Russia and – closer to home – Slovenia, preferably by public bus service. Wherever they stay they pick up local tunes and transform them into their anarcho style punk rock. The name Vialka supposedly originates from a village of ex-convicts in the Gulag region of North Russia. The couple’s performance is very intense, permanently changing rhythm and mood. Eric on his guitar can hardly keep pace with Marylise‘ drumming and singing and jumping around. She is explosive, like the hand grenade tattooed on her arm.” – eastblog-westblog.com
