He or she is a dirty molly. “Sniffed her pussy - these are heavenly speeds”: What does the new release “Naughty Molly” consist of
Ukrainian group " Naughty Molly"led by 20-year-old Kirill Bledny - new idols of youth. The lyrics of their songs are very simple and understandable to all teenagers without exception: parties, alcohol, sex relationships. But not only teenagers dance to them, but also gloss editors, football players and just people over 30. It is very difficult to explain what the phenomenon is. Probably because everyone has gone through this. We tell you what you need to know about “Nasty Molly”.
In 2017, the group released its first album, “Eight Ways to Quit...” ( masturbate). One of the most popular songs it featured “Non-Stop” – a remix of a song by the group Reflex. Only the text and arrangement are completely different - only the chorus remains from the original.
Still from the video “Your Sister’s Favorite Song”
The group’s only video for the song “Your Sister’s Favorite Song” received 5.3 million views on YouTube in seven months.

IN Kirill Bledny's Instagram, the frontman of the group, only 141 thousand subscribers. But it's a matter of time. Now everyone is discussing “Naughty Molly”, so he will soon at least get a “tick” to his account.
Just a couple of days ago the group released their second album, “Sad Girl with Eyes Like a Dog.” There are only six songs, and the most popular is “Everybody Wants to Kiss Me.” Kirill Bledny himself told The Flow that the EP is dedicated to a girl. True, he doesn’t want to say which one, but there really isn’t much romance in the album.
The youth group from Ukraine “Vulgar Molly” has soared from complete obscurity to the heights of popularity in a year. Without participation in TV shows, without promotion by famous producers, without financial investments, the group attracts thousands of viewers in concert halls Ukraine and Russia. And this is not a passing success. The “social network generation” creates its own idols, supporting them with likes and reposts.
Compound
The founder of the group “Vulgar Molly”, frontman, author of music and lyrics is Kirill Timoshenko, better known under the pseudonym. The rest of the trio changes so quickly that the guys don't even have time to work together. Model Yana Kryukova starred in the first video of the group, and in the second she was joined by Valeria Karaman and Ivan Voronenko.
Kirill was born on March 31, 1997 in the city of Zmiev, Kharkov region. There is little entertainment in the provincial regional center, so the future musician’s peers spent time on the street in the company of friends. Kirill listened to a variety of music, not always remembering the names of groups and musicians. Therefore, now in his work fans find references to songs of various genres.
Kirill considers that he was especially influenced by Bring Me the Horizon, Mindless Self Indulgence. The teenager read a rap about crime, recording it on his phone, and waited until his voice began to break and became an adult. But then I realized that I wanted to play rock in my band, and took up the guitar. At the same time, I continued to try everything that was available.
Kirill earned the nickname “Pale”, which later became his stage name, at the age of 14, when he first tried marijuana and had a pale appearance. The songs of "Dirty Molly" often mention drugs and the negative consequences of taking them. After school, the parents sent the young man to study at a technical school, but Kirill’s studies boiled down to the teacher handing over money for tuition, so the student soon abandoned the useless activity and focused on creativity.
And who is this Molly, after whom the group is named? This collective image target audience Kirilla: a fifteen-year-old schoolgirl who already wants to try adult life, but it’s still not possible. Obedient teenagers dream of the excitement of night discos, of hot sex afterwards - and get these dreams voiced in the songs of “Naughty Molly”. 35 years ago he sang “Eighth-Grader”:
“Mom’s lipstick, older sister’s boots. I feel at ease with you, and you are proud of me...”
Vulgar Molly is the same schoolgirl, but from the 21st century.
Music
On February 14, 2016, Kirill posted his first composition, “Your Sister’s Favorite Song,” on the Internet, which quickly became a hit. The second single released to users "In contact with", wore mysterious name"TMSTS." The abbreviation stands for in the text: “Your little sister is so-and-so.” Funny songs about eternal teenage problems “caught” listeners.
In October, the single “Hannah Montana” is released, and the group gives its first concert at a local club. There are 20 people near the stage, three quarters of the audience are Kirill’s friends who came to watch the show. Little by little, Kirill gains experience and understanding that his dream of becoming a rock musician is beginning to come true. The number of subscribers on YouTube and social networks is growing, people are dancing and singing along at concerts.
Someone dropped the work of “Vulgar Molly” to Gleb, the administrator of the “Eternal 17” public page. Gleb quickly realized that the group would be successful, and not only published compositions in “Eternal 17”, but also became the manager of the youth team. Over the course of a year, Kirill wrote eight songs that were included in his debut mini-album “8 Ways to Stop Jerk Off.”
To Kirill’s surprise, the most popular song on the album was “Non-Stop” - a remix of a song by the group Reflex. In the version of “Nasty Molly” the arrangement has been completely changed and the verses have been rearranged. Romance of protest and disobedience, alcohol, weed and glue – all these things are mixed in Kirill’s texts and sounded to rhythmic dance melodies.
The style in which the group plays is called indie rock, original pop rock, a mixture of rap, rock and electro music; the album is posted on the Play Market in the “Alternative music/indie” section. Large communities “Rhymes and Punchies”, MDK, The Flow became interested in the album, the publication in which fueled interest in the group. In the summer of 2017, “Vulgar Molly” shot the first video for the favorite song of teenagers, “Your Sister’s Favorite Song.”
On January 30, 2018, the group released the mini-album “Sad Girl with Dog Eyes” - it seems that the word “like” has become business card"Nasty Molly." The solo album, which turned out to be more mature and of high quality, included 6 compositions. The theme of a sad dog is revealed in the text “I’ll be your little dog.” The disc, according to the author, is dedicated to a girl whose name he keeps secret.
The third was filmed in February official clip“Typical pool party,” where merry schoolchildren get drunk, have sex (off-screen) and bully one of the participants. Videos from the band’s concerts are also posted on the Internet, at which Kirill often sings other people’s songs - after all, there are still not enough of his own. The track “Everybody Wants to Kiss Me” from the second album was posted by a fan as a recording from a concert.
"Nasty Molly" now
In January, the Ukrainian group caused a conflict between Artem Zverev and Evgeniy Gorenburg. Gorenburg invited “Vulgar Molly” to the “Old New Rock” festival in Yekaterinburg. And the art director of the Dom Pechati nightclub, Artem Zverev, accused him of duplicity, since Gorenburg recently spoke out against the tour of this group, claiming that the fees of Ukrainians are sponsoring the war.
Now “Nasty Molly” is touring Russia. As expected real rock band, concerts are accompanied by scandals. On March 4 in Stavropol, the start of the performance was delayed by three hours. The schoolchildren had been expecting the show since six o'clock in the evening, but heard the voice of Kirill Bledny only at nine. The concert lasted half an hour, but ended spectacularly: the frontman, going into a rage, destroyed the equipment and went backstage.
On March 7, an interview with Bledny was posted on the YouTube channel “vDud”. In a conversation with a video blogger, the question was asked:
“When you find yourself in front of Putin, what do you tell him?”
In response, the musician fell silent and held a theatrical pause for half a minute. When asked about his personal life, Kirill admitted that he did not participate in group sex.

1. Who is this?
All “Molly” songs are written and sung by 20-year-old Kirill Bledny from Kharkov. Vulgar Molly, as he says, is a collective image of a schoolgirl who listens to his songs.
2. Where did they come from?
It happened very quickly and suddenly. It all started when Gleb, the admin of the “Eternal 17” public page about teenage rock, listened to the songs of “Vulgar Molly” that someone sent him. He realized that it would “go very loud” and published the songs on his public page. The group began to gain listeners, and soon Molly’s tracks filled other popular music publics.
3. Why did it thunder?
Think for yourself: the group is called “Naughty Molly”, the album is called “8 Ways to Stop Jerk Off”, on the cover of which cartoon girl holds his hand in his panties. The songs are upbeat, cheerful, something like Hadouken, NRKTK, Klaxons and other noisy bands from ten years ago. Just songs about youth and for young people, without tension and with a bit of humor.
4. Is it really popular?
Yes. The guys are known not only in Ukraine. For example, tickets for the first Moscow concert of “Nasty Molly” in the small club China Town Café sold out in a couple of hours. We even had to organize an additional performance.
They appeared only a year ago, but have already become real heroes of thousands of Russian and Ukrainian teenagers who know their songs by heart (all eight). Young fans are ready to give their last money to attend their concert; every day they send hundreds of VKontakte messages to the band’s frontman Kirill Bledny and wonder: who is the girl who starred in his new video? Promoters are ready to do everything to bring them to their city - despite dissatisfaction from the prosecutor's office and the FSB. Yesterday they became the cause of a dispute between the art director of the House of Printing, Artem Zverev, and Evgeniy Gorenburg.
For those who are over 18 and who still don’t understand who “Nasty Molly” is and why everyone around only talks about her, we have prepared five simple questions and answers about new youth heroes.
Who is "Nasty Molly" and why is she so popular?
This is a now fashionable pop-punk trio from Kharkov. The group appeared in February 2016 and gained popularity thanks to the popular VKontakte public pages. The administrator of the public page “Eternal 17” liked the songs from the debut album “8 Ways to Stop Jerking Off,” and he began publishing them on the page. Later they were picked up by MDK - and now the guys are already heroes social networks. Publications in publications like The Flow only cemented their success. Now official group“Nasty Molly” on VKontakte has more than 211 thousand subscribers.
Having become mega-popular, the guys began to actively tour. Tickets for the first concert of “Vulgar Molly” in Moscow were sold out in a couple of hours (although the venue where they performed was rather modest). The organizers quickly opened the sale of tickets for the second concert and were right. There were no empty seats. Now the guys are actively touring Russia. You can see them in Yekaterinburg in the near future at the “Old New Rock” festival.
Why does the band have such a strange name and what does it mean?
The vocalist of the group, a 20-year-old guy from Kharkov, Kirill Bledny, explained in an interview that the group was named after a typical fan of the team - a teenage schoolgirl (her image is well depicted in the text of “Your Sister’s Favorite Song” or on the cover of the group’s album). In short, this is a girl who is not ashamed of her sexuality, wants to have fun, swears a lot, has bad habits and is not afraid to look strange in the eyes of her peers.
Are the vocals in the group “Vulgar Molly” female or male?
This question interests many who first turned on the songs of “Vulgar Molly”. All parts are performed by Kirill Bledny.
What are they singing about?
In total, the group has 8 songs, which can accurately be used to identify themes that are popular among young people. Fashion (in one of the songs Kirill sings on behalf of the hero who wears skinny jeans), parties, sleepovers under the bridge, drugs, port wine, love, betrayal, confused relationships with peers, parents, sex... Deep observations and philosophical conclusions from “Vulgar” Molly” is not worth the wait. The teenagers about whom and for whom they sing live here and now, enjoy their freedom, youth and do not think about tomorrow.
However, in the group’s lyrics there are references to Russian and Western musical culture, sometimes quite serious, sometimes ironic. Thus, a simple punk cover of the group “Reflex” (“Non-stop”) is very popular during concerts. Judging by the videos on the Internet, when this song is performed in clubs, a real disco of the 90s begins. Connoisseurs of the work of “Vulgar Molly” say that their songs contain references to Hadouken, NRKTK, Klaxons. In addition, Kirill Bledny sometimes remembers the teen idol of the 2000s, Eminem.
Is it true that in their songs the musicians promote drugs, homosexuality, and in general this group is extremist?
No one has officially brought such accusations against the group. However, it is known that Russian law enforcement and intelligence agencies have already become interested in her. Thus, the art director of the Yekaterinburg “House of Printing,” where “Vulgar Molly” performed, said that FSB and prosecutors contacted him and urgently asked him to cancel the performance of the Ukrainian musicians.
“When I was doing a concert of the group “Vulgar Molly” on May 20 in Yekaterinburg, the prosecutor’s office and the FSB came to me and gave me nightmares for allegedly being an extremist group... They scared me: propaganda of homosexuality, extremism, propaganda of drugs, and whatnot. They made it clear to me that the concert had to be cancelled,” Artem Zverev wrote on his Facebook page. As a result, an FSB officer came along with 600 spectators to “Nasty Molly” in Yekaterinburg. After the departure of the Ukrainian musicians, the problem faded into the background.
In the songs of Kirill Bledny, a lot of attention is indeed paid to the topic of drugs and teenage sex, but one can hardly say that the musicians are engaged in the promotion of prohibited substances (“I have a girlfriend,// She wears bell-bottom jeans, she’s devoid of intelligence.// She injects desomorphine, //Already half dead, green skin”, “Hannamontana”). But in the songs there is a mention of the special services - in a negative or ironic context (“Here, there are Slim Shady icons everywhere, // Plus the inscription “Feds - ***ite!”, “My baby doesn’t know. // Even the FSB won’t know anything...” ).
What's happening?
“Vulgar Molly,” like many heroes of VKontakte, appeared as if out of nowhere and very quickly began to fill the airwaves of social networks. Over the past week, both public giants like MDK and thematic resources such as “Native Sound”, The Flow, “Rhymes and Punch” have written about their debut album “8 Ways to Stop Jerking Off”. The group's public page - the main measure of user attention these days - quickly grew to 20 thousand subscribers.
What is known about them?
All Molly songs are written and sung by Kirill Bledny, a 20-year-old resident of Kharkov. Vulgar Molly, in his words, is a collective image of a schoolgirl who listens to his songs. He himself says that in hometown he was recognized only a couple of times, and the hottest concert so far was in Odessa.
Kirill recalls his very first performance as follows: “It was an ordinary hodgepodge at a local club. There were 20 bodies supporting me under the stage, 70 percent of which were my friends. Everything was rather dull, people were shy with each other in the half-empty hall. I remember that even the clothes I was wearing weren’t mine.”
Things look different now. “In Kharkov we performed in a club for 150 people, we thought it would be a little bigger,” says Gleb, the group’s manager. “In the end, 500 people came, things were going crazy in the club, another 200 people didn’t fit in.”
If you think that this is a local intra-Ukrainian phenomenon, then it is not so: tickets for the first Moscow concert of “Molly” on March 18 in the small Moscow club China Town Café sold out in a couple of hours. Gleb had to organize another one, on March 8, and tickets for it were sold out just as quickly.
Why did everything happen so quickly?
This is also a typical story for the VKontakte generation. For Gleb, the administrator of the “Eternal 17” public page dedicated to noisy teenage rock, someone dropped the band’s songs. A quick listen was enough for him to recognize a new hero in Kirill. “I realized that it would thunder very loudly,” says Gleb, who began publishing “Vulgar Molly” songs in the public. And the group quickly found listeners.
Why does this work?
8 Ways to Quit Jerkoff, whose cover features a cartoon girl with her hand in her panties, is eight songs about a fun but difficult youth. “Your little sister is such a bitch/She wants to sleep with our rock band”, “This track makes you stronger/It’s funnier than wheels and dearer than port”, “There’s action in her house/Speeds, weed , Playstation".
There is a free punk cover of the band “Reflex”, a song about spending the night under a bridge and a lot of prickly energy - these songs hit the head like that very port wine taken on an empty stomach. Those who have already listened to “8 Ways” find in the songs of “Molly” references to the groups Hadouken, NRKTK, Klaxons and other noisy groups of ten years ago, who tried to return indie rock to the disco. Although the formula by which Kirill works was developed by Viktor Tsoi in the mid-80s: “So what if we do a little of that? So what if we want to dance?”
Is this nostalgic music or modern?
Kirill himself, in his own words, in 2007 “listened to everything - Eminem, Bring Me the Horizon, Mindless Self Indulgence” and “was not an ardent representative of any particular subculture.” “Actually in 2007 I was rapping,” he says.
And this is not the first example when people who previously listened to rappers and tapped beats in Fruity Loops took up guitars. So Petar Martic, the vocalist of another important group for the generation of the “Pain” festival, the group “Pasosh,” before starting a punk project, rapped in the group “Jump, Pussy”.
It turns out that rock is alive?
“Alive, dead. Who even cares? - Kirill answers. “Any genre can be intelligently adapted to the modern trend and presented as something new.”
