Hipodil

Hipodil (Bulgarian: Хиподил) is a Bulgarian rock band, founded 1988 in Sofia by four classmates from the local Mathematics High School. The band describe their music as alco-agro-porno-punk though elements of ska, hard rock and heavy metal are used en masse as well. Hipodil's popularity however is based in large on their aggressive, sarcastic, sometimes vulgar and explicit but yet humorous lyrics. Because of that Hipodil are known as a "scandalous and rebellious" band. Their main goal is to entertain the listener and themselves; most of the lyrics concern topics such as alcohol, sex, women, the status quo, etc.; they frequently ridicule famous Bulgarian and non-Bulgarian people and even politicians (and sometimes songs). Nevertheless, the band has some pretty serious tracks with complex and socially oriented lyrics. All the lyrics are in Bulgarian and are written by vocalist Svetoslav Vitkov (Svetlyo). Most of the music is composed by guitarist Petar Todorov (Pesho). In a great number of songs, guest musicians take part, adding mainly to the brass section.
