Ziferblat is a Ukrainian music band consisting of vocalist Daniil Leshchynskyi, guitarist Valentyn Leshchynskyi and drummer Fedir Khodakov. They represented Ukraine in the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 with the song "Bird of Pray".  Ziferblat is a band representing the new generation of Ukrainian music. Their sound seamlessly blends the deep musical backgrounds of each member with professional production and heartfelt lyrics. Formed in 2015, the musicians struck a delicate balance between originality, lightness, and multi-instrumentalism. Having come into the spotlight in 2023, the band won numerous Ukrainian awards and, on their second attempt, managed to win Vidbir and secure the opportunity to represent Ukraine at Eurovision 2025.

^ The music sounds to me as though it might indeed be a fit for Crossover Prog, but the short biography included in your post has somewhat of an AI-generated feel to it, and Quillbot agreed when I did a quick check just now, with a verdict of 100% AI content. Could you possibly supply an original biography, since it would be against the site's policy for us to use an AI-generated one? |

^ The introduction at the top of your post taken from Bandcamp isn't AI-generated, but the rest of the info that you included below the band photo was flagged as 100% AI by Quillbot. Never mind, that Wikipedia link will be useful, and I found some other short articles about the band on a couple of Ukrainian websites, so if the Crossover Team clear the band I can put together something that we can use.

BTW, as a Slavic speaker, I'm a tiny tiny bit triggered that the official transliteration of the band's name (Циферблат) is Ziferblat instead of Cyferblat/Cyferbłat. /j -------------

On their bandcamp page, the name is spelled like that. So don't get tiny triggered, if you please.

I thought a cat jumped on your keyboard or something.  I don't know what that means (/j). |

It indicates that the post is a joke. It's not hard to look it up, bro. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=/j" rel="nofollow - https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=/j https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki//j" rel="nofollow - https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki//j -------------

That's curious. Here in the States it's transliterated as T︠S︡yferblat. Even the official Ukrainian transliteration is Tsyferblat.

You're absolutely right! The Cyrillic "Ц", in all standardized Latin-based Slavic languages is written as a "C". And phonetically it's a "ts". -------------
