K Republic is an american progressive goth band, founded in 2008.

History
In 2008, Alex Gorshenev, the frontman for Kukryniksy was introduced to American singer-songwriter Stephanie Starr and the idea for an English language crossover album was born. The new project became K Republic, and the forthcoming artistic concept hinged on the chemistry between Gorshenev and Starr, a male-female vocal partnership that produces a softer, more ethereal sound. Though formed from the original members of Kukryniksy with the addition of Starr, K Republic is a major artistic departure and is the only joint Russian-American rock band in the world. As such, K Republic has attracted lots of press attention in Eastern Europe, including a write up in Rolling Stone Magazine. The publication tagged K Republic a "gothic-country" act. K Republic's maxi single Last Resort was released in December 2009. The full-length LP, "All Those Things I Left Behind" was release on September 24th, 2010. Alex, Vocalist for K Republic, was born in Russia's far east, and is a singer, composer, and the creative force of K. His love of philosophy and literature has found a powerful voice in song, as evidenced by Ks haunting music. Alex enjoys a successful musical career in Russia as the lead singer for Kukryniksi, but finds that life with K has brought new and unexpected muses. Steph, Vocalist for K Republic, is a native Texan, but has traveled the world over. A trained musician, Steph is a singer and the lyricist for K, and likes that she's still hanging out with the bad boys. She has always said that good music goes right to the soul and is not constrained by language or style. Steph lives in Colorado and finds that the earth sounds different at 12,000 feet.
