Riot Days with Pussy Riot and THICK

Pussy Riot, born in Moscow in 2011, gained fame for protesting Putin's re-election. Known for lo-fi punk, they expanded to pop and hip-hop, collaborating with Tom Morello, Dorian Electra, and Big Freedia. International tours followed their 2012 arrest for a protest in a Moscow cathedral. Their work, highlighted by anti-corruption lyrics, includes "Make America Great Again" and "Straight Outta Vagina." The 2022 mixtape "Matriarchy Now" features Big Freedia and Slayyyter. Pussy Riot has been subject of books, documentaries, and supported by celebrities like Paul McCartney.
