Influenced by SoCal punk, FliT crafted their own brand of music and cultivated a massive following, releasing three albums, touring Europe and playing multiple festivals.
[1] Founding members Volodymyr (guitar, vocals and songwriter) and Igor (drummer, manager) moved to the United States to pursue other careers but never lost their vision to recreate the musical and creative successes of FliT.
In 2017, the two officially reformed the group releasing the U.S. debut project, Walking in Circles, an English version of previous FliT hits.
The band was formed in Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine in 2001, when five young people united under short but precise name “FliT”.
As a result, the band prepared an acoustic concert program, which they performed in different cities of Ukraine.
On June 15, 2010, FliT together with the Quarto Corde String Ensemble, the Vertical Limit band, and other invited musicians performed the first largest in Ukrainian history acoustic concert in Ivano-Frankivsk.
In July 2011, vocalist Vladimir Novikov also left the band due to the move to the U.S. Yuri Popov started to sing.
The same month, the new band released a video for the new song "Zamaniuiut ochi" ("Lure of Your Eyes"), which was written by Vladimir Novikov on the eve of the relocation.
On October 4, 2011, Flit presented a new song and video "Anhely posered nas" ("Angels among us"), which was performed by Andrey Markiv as the lead singer of band.
As his replacement he offered musician Anatoliy Blednyh, while for the vacant position of guitarist and backing vocalist Flit invited Juliy Gonski.
First of all, during the work on the album guitarist and backing vocalist Julius Gonski left the band due to conflicting views on creative process.
[6] During 2014–2017, Ukrainian Flit released seven singles: "Ukraina" ("Ukraine"), "NonStop",[7] "Koly mene znaidut" ("When They Find Me"),[8] Ostannii Heroi ("The Last Hero"),[9] "Vse Navpaky" ("All the Way"),[10] "Doroha" ("The Road"), "Ty ne sam" ("You're not alone").
[12] It is symbolic that after the retrieval into the professional music and despite ten years of American residency the new album was created in Ukrainian.
The cover of EP "Raptom" ("Suddenly") depicts the punk Cossack BILLY - a new mascot of the collective.
