ULIS has always been developing its music, never stopped on the achieved results, and never obeyed the stylistic limits imposed by the Belarusian officials. ULIS has never been afraid of experimenting with music, and that is why the music it is playing now is totally different from what the band has been playing 20 years ago.
The music style of the band, defined by its leader, is HARD INDEPENDENT ROCK.
