Messed Up are a Belarusian punk rock band from Grodno, West Belarus.[1][2] Formed in 2015, they have been referred to as the first all-female punk band in Belarus.[3]

Their lyrical themes are mostly concerned with "how a post-Soviet society favours an ordinary person, and how people in positions of power oppress those who choose to live differently".[4] Due to their country's authoritarian government, restriction of personal and political freedoms, as well as its patriarchal social norms, Messed Up have oftentimes had to organise concerts practically illegally[5] and thus have arguably found greater success playing abroad in the neighbouring countries of Poland and Lithuania, where they have frequently performed at numerous points throughout the band's history.[3][6][7] Igor Bantser, frontman of Grodno-based street punk group Mister X, has helped the band and is often their driver for tours around the continent; Messed Up and Mister X have also performed together at various concerts in several countries across Eastern Europe.[1][6] For a time, Messed Up founding member Katya also played as the drummer for Mister X.[8]

All members of the band are activists in their personal lives and are strictly opposed to sexism, homophobia, racism, fascism, and ageism.[9] Inspired by left-wing and anarchist themes,[10] all the founding members were in their late teens when the band was formed.[7] Messed Up have played alongside Moscow Death Brigade in Germany,[11] at the Wrocław Tattoo Konwent 2017,[12][13] as well as performing at the fourth edition of the 161 Fest in Warszawa, Poland.[14] They released their first demo available for free download in October of 2016.[1] Their first full-length album, released on vinyl and CD in November of 2019 via Audiolith Records, was met with positive reviews[15][16][17] and followed by a promotional tour throughout Germany[18][2] with their own workshops about the feminist scene in Belarus.[19] The band has been featured in a number of international media, from interviews in old-school punk zines to articles in online multilingual projects.[20][4][3][21]

Band members

The band started out as an all-female group, but in late 2018 their drummer Katya left the band and moved out of Grodno to pursue her career.[22] While looking for a new female drummer, Artur Lemantovich from The Goonzz! and Mister X stepped in to help as a temporary drummer for Messed Up. Liza, one of the founding members and the band's guitarist, writes the lyrics for Messed Up's songs.[3]
