Louna is an alternative/punk rock band, formed in Moscow in 2008 by Tracktor Bowling musicians Lousine Gevorkian and Vitaly Demidenko.[1]

Their debut album, Let's Get Louder, was released in 2010. In total, the group has released three albums and six singles to date.

The band is best known for its socially conscious songs criticizing Russian political elites[2][3][4] and religion.[5][6] Louna's songs are frequently found on Russian radio and rock charts.[7][8]

Louna is composed of members Lousine Gevorkian (vocals), Vitaly Demidenko (bass), Sergey Ponkratiev (guitars), Rouben Kazariyan (guitar) and Leonid "Pilot" Kinzbursky (drums).

In autumn 2013 the band went into a large-scale tour of 26 U.S. cities with teams of The Pretty Reckless and Heaven's Basement.[9]

On 13 December 2018 they released a new English-speaking album, “Panopticon”.
