Originally formed in 1996, TRACKTOR BOWLING came up with the new idea of style on Russian hard rock scene. After changing the musical stylistics and musicians, crossing the musical boundaries, the band finally found their own unique sound. "Blood burning" riffs and uncovered emotions, sincerity and mad energetics are tied in a flow of deep diving through sounds and thoughts, of sufferings and happiness, of love and pain, true feelings and unending fears engulfed in melody and driven guitars with female vocal.

The band's first demo-record, "Mutation" / Mutatsiya (2000) and a presentation of it had a great success. Had given several shows TRACKTOR BOWLING acquired the status of the leading band of Moscow alternative rock scene. Having full halls regularly, unit became the cult band in new musical tendencies.



The debut album, "Breaking Through" / Naprolom (2002) made TRACKTOR BOWLING headliners of the largest alternative rock festivals in Russia.

The next album, "The Edge" / Cherta came at the beginning of 2005, more professional, more sensual, "grown-up" with TRACKTOR BOWLING's invariable energetics and sincere lyrics. The following "The Edge Tour 2005" all over Russia was completed with great shows on Russian largest rock festivals.

The band was nominated in different Russian alternative music awards in all nominations. In different years TRACKTOR BOWLING was declared as the best live show rock band in Russia. English versions of three songs confirmed the new EP Its Time To. which appeared on MySpace.Com, recognized lots of positive emotions and comments from people from all over the world.



The third album, Walking On Glass / Shagi Po Steklu appeared in May, 2006. Sixteen new tracks, half agressive, half beautiful and lyric new Molotov coctail from the band. The new sound quality (album was mixed and mastered in Finland by Mikko Herranen), the full palitra of music colors, deep and razing guitar voices, powerful drums and beautiful lead vocals only few words about new album.
