Did you miss the first part?   <a href=\"https:\/\/orkus1.com\/en\/an-interview-with-the-hardkiss-part-1-of-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">No problem, you can read it here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>O:<\/strong> Which song on \u201cGrey Hound\u201d means the most to you personally, and why?<br\/><strong>Julia Sanina:<\/strong> I think every band member would answer this question differently, but for me, it\u2019s \u201cOpera.\u201d It\u2019s a very expansive composition, both musically and emotionally. As a singer, the song gives me a lot of room to express myself, and the lyrics are also very emotional.<br\/>Interestingly, the lyrics came to me very quickly. For me, that\u2019s usually a good sign. I love those moments when a song almost writes itself and the words flow naturally. \u201cOpera\u201d was one of those songs.     <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>O:<\/strong> Which of the new songs have already proven to be particularly strong in a live setting, or which ones are you most looking forward to performing on stage?<br\/><strong>JS:<\/strong> The high-energy songs are usually the most fun to play live. We\u2019ve already had the chance to play several of the new songs at the Greenfield Festival, and \u201cI Love You\u201d really took off there. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>O:<\/strong> The Hardkiss now has an extensive catalog. How difficult is it these days to put together a setlist that reflects your various musical facets? <br\/><strong>JS:<\/strong> The Hardkiss has been around for 15 years now, and during that time we\u2019ve experimented with many different sounds and styles. We have numerous softer, more melodic songs\u2014especially in Ukrainian\u2014that have become very popular with our audience.<br\/>Currently, however, we\u2019re particularly interested in alternative and harder music. That\u2019s why our festival setlists tend to focus on the band\u2019s more energetic side.<br\/>It\u2019s different at our own concerts. There, we can showcase the full spectrum of who we are. We play songs in Ukrainian and English and combine powerful rock moments with more intimate and emotional ones. In a way, our concerts still reflect the two sides that have always defined The Hardkiss: the \u201cHard\u201d and the \u201cKiss.\u201d     <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>O:<\/strong> What moments during a concert do you enjoy the most?<br\/><strong>JS:<\/strong> My favorite part of a show is usually the second half. By then, the nerves have faded, I\u2019m fully immersed in the performance, and the audience has really gotten into it too. That\u2019s exactly when a genuine connection forms between us.<br\/>And afterward, I love seeing people\u2019s stories and reading their reactions.  <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>O:<\/strong> Life on tour has many great aspects, but it also has its challenges. What would you be most willing to do without? <br\/><strong>JS:<\/strong> To be honest: I could easily do without spreadsheets, budget planning, and logistical organization. In Ukraine, the tour operator usually takes care of that. As musicians, we never really had to deal with those things ourselves. You\u2019re taken to the venue, play the show, and that\u2019s it. That way, you can focus entirely on the music.<br\/>In Europe, the system works very differently, and this was the first time we\u2019d experienced it on this scale. Suddenly, even before the tour starts, you\u2019re dealing with financial planning, routes, transportation, accommodations, schedules, and countless other details.     <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>O:<\/strong> When did you realize that music wasn&#8217;t just a passion, but would be your life&#8217;s path?<br\/><strong>JS:<\/strong> I\u2019ve known my whole life that I would become a musician. I was born into a family of musicians and first stepped onto a stage when I was just three years old. By the time I was nine, I was already winning singing competitions, so for me, the question of whether to pursue music never really came up.<br\/>It was simply always there\u2014a natural part of my personality.<br\/>I feel incredibly lucky to have been able to spend so many years doing what I love and to have had the opportunity to build a career in music at this level.  <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>O:<\/strong> What do you remember most about the early days of The Hardkiss, and what challenges did you have to overcome back then?<br\/><strong>JS:<\/strong> Val and I started making music simply because we enjoyed it. Right at the beginning, we made a deal with ourselves: We\u2019d give this project three years and see if it could turn into something bigger.<br\/>I can honestly say that our start went relatively smoothly. From the very beginning, we did everything ourselves\u2014from writing and producing the music to the visual concepts and music videos. We were never dependent on others creatively, and I think it\u2019s precisely this independence that has shaped our identity as a band. Our presence on the Ukrainian music scene definitely didn\u2019t go unnoticed.<br\/>Today, we\u2019re focusing on growing within the European music scene, and that\u2019s a much bigger challenge. We do have a lot of experience, but it comes from a different market. The European music industry operates by completely different rules, and we\u2019re still learning and adapting. In many ways, it feels like a new chapter for the band.       <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>O:<\/strong> How has life as a musician changed in recent years, and what challenges does today&#8217;s music industry present?<br\/><strong>JS:<\/strong> I actually feel that it\u2019s much harder to be a musician today than it was ten years ago. On the one hand, there are social media and independent platforms through which artists can reach their audience directly. On the other hand, so much content is published every day that it\u2019s easy to get lost in the crowd.<br\/>Tours have also become incredibly expensive, and more and more artists are talking about how hard it\u2019s become to even go on tour. At the same time, social media algorithms seem to change every few months. You can no longer focus exclusively on the music. To reach your audience, you have to be an entertainer, a content creator, and a social media manager all at once.     <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>O:<\/strong> You&#8217;ll be performing in Germany again soon. What perceptions or stereotypes about German fans and German culture have you encountered? <br\/><strong>JS:<\/strong> As for the clich\u00e9s we\u2019d like to debunk: I\u2019ve heard that the audience is very serious, extremely demanding, and hard to get excited. I\u2019ve also been told that we\u2019d eat sausages for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and that everything has to follow strict rules with no room for improvisation.<br\/>But honestly, I\u2019m pretty sure those are just clich\u00e9s that have little to do with reality. I\u2019ve played an acoustic set at Wacken Open Air once before, and the audience was incredibly warm and open. That\u2019s why I hope we\u2019ll experience exactly that again.   <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>O:<\/strong> What gives you strength and confidence for the future these days?<br\/><strong>JS:<\/strong> I draw a lot of energy from other people\u2019s optimism, from my son\u2019s smile, and from the kind messages we receive about our music. As long as I know that our music means something to people and that what we do has meaning, it always gives me strength and joy\u2014no matter what happens. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">Annabelle Reiter<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Lineup:<\/strong><br\/>Julia Sanina \u2013 vocals<br\/>Valeriy &#8220;Val&#8221; Bebko \u2013 guitar<br\/>Klym Lysiuk \u2013 bass<br\/>Zhenya \u2013 drums<\/p>\n\n<p>Listen to <strong>The Hardkiss<\/strong> on our \u201cCurrent Issue\u201d playlist on Spotify:<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/playlist\/4jHJBBSbRZp2SNFeHoJMfA?si=692591a28ffc4283\" style=\"background-color:#07b710\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">To the &#8220;Current Issue&#8221; playlist<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:58px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Already subscribed to our newsletter?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:53px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/orkus1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Wunsch-CD-Geschenk.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38308\" style=\"width:214px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orkus1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Wunsch-CD-Geschenk.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orkus1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Wunsch-CD-Geschenk-550x550.jpg 550w, https:\/\/orkus1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Wunsch-CD-Geschenk-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/orkus1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Wunsch-CD-Geschenk-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orkus1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Wunsch-CD-Geschenk-636x636.jpg 636w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-vivid-red-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/orkus1.com\/en\/newsletter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Subscribe to our newsletter<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:55px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Choose your favorite CD as a subscription bonus:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:51px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-28206b41 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-vivid-red-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.orkus-shop.de\/c\/abo\/deutschland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Subscription premium<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In our two-part interview, we talk with Julia Sanina of The Hardkiss about the new album \u201cGrey Hound,\u201d cold concrete, the concept of \u201ctime,\u201d and the changes she\u2019s witnessed over the band\u2019s 15-year history.
