Biography

It was somewhere in 1991 in town Gabrovo, in Bulgaria, where Georgi Georgiev (guitar and vocals), Boyan Petkov (bass) and Dragomir Dimitrov (drums) formed Ostava - a band that played a key role in the history of the Bulgarian alternative music scene, influenced generations and changed lives. Svilen Noev (lead vocals and guitar) joined the band in 1995, and Daniel Petrov replaced his predecessor on drums four years later to complete the original line-up. One can say that history loves Ostava, since each and every album they have put out has become an instant classic in its own right and casts a shadow over most famous local performers that tried to match their success.

The unmistakable rough guitar sound of Ostava that refers to the most influental bands from the early past, such as Oasis, The Smiths, Blur, REM and Suede fused with the tender textures of the post-punk wave in the late-80s subculture, helped the band create an unique sound that defined a new era in the Bulgarian alternative music, which was barely existant up to that point.

Ostava’s first studio efforts set the basics for the suprising success of their first LP. The first song they put out as a radio single, which was the typical format at that time - “Sunflower Fields”, became an major hit after receiving the Best Song Award of the Bulgarian National Radio in 1994. The same happened to the acoustic anthem “We Are Free” in 1996. Foreign promoters noticed the band back then and Ostava got invited to take part at the Roxy Music Gunleri Festival in Turkey.

    Last.fm claim to prefer the original spelling and do so with Japanese bands, so shouldn't it be Остава?

    Щом толкова ви дразнят таговете, кликайте долу под групите линка "Suggest a correction" и пишете, че "Остава" е коректното име на групата. Ако достатъчно се пращат подобни съобщения, ще се промени автоматично тага. Аз няма да си променям тага и ще разчитам на добри душици като вас да го направите автоматично ;) Защото вече имам достатъчно слушания на групата с грешния таг.

    Защо не се успокоите с тези кирилици и латиници. Голяма работа.

    Нямам търпение да дойде понеделник - тайно си мечтаех Остава да направят сесия с кавъри на банди като The Smiths, Pixies, Placebo, Oasis... и ето че най-накрая се случи. Жесток подарък за Коледа, момчета! Ще съм на първия ред и ще припявам There is a Light that Never Goes Out!
