The Sovjets

Belgian punk/wave band from the Leuven area, formed in 1979 and ended in 1981. Evolved into Sovjet War with a changed line-up. In 1979, they had not yet met Leon and had a different guitarist (Jan). They released two 30 minute cassettes with this line-up (about 1000 total) and sold them all. As harder punk music was on its way out around this time, they adapted, changing their name and incorporating poppier influences.
