Italian punk heavyweights Svetlanas have unleashed their latest single, Smile for the Camera, released on August 12, 2025. Fierce, fast, and uncompromising, the track delivers everything fans have come to expect from the band: raw energy, political bite, and a refusal to hold back.
Frontwoman Olga spits fire over razor-sharp riffs and pounding drums, channeling the confrontational spirit that has defined Svetlanas for over a decade. With longtime member Nick Oliveri (Kyuss, QOTSA, Mondo Generator) on board, the sound is even heavier—melding hardcore punk urgency with a weight that borders on stoner rock intensity.
Smile for the Camera isn’t just another punk single; it’s a pointed reminder of Svetlanas’ place as one of the most politically charged and explosive acts in the global punk scene. Aggressive, unflinching, and built to be shouted back from the pit, it’s a track that demands attention.
