New Soviet album due this fall:

Primarily due to masterful song writing and production, Soviet was a refreshing standout among the dozens of electro-pop acts to emerge from Brooklyn around the turn of the millennium. Had he started making music fifteen years earlier, Soviet's Keith Ruggerio could have easily gone toe-to-toe with hypothetical peers on a John Hughes soundtrack album.

After extensive touring, a migration to Los Angeles, and forming the sound design and production company KAR Songs, Ruggerio is currently completing a new Soviet album for Kinetic Media, which released Hong Kong Counterfeit's Counterparts LP earlier this year.
