The guys' contact details are there through soundcloud, bandcamp - I don't think they've used VK since it was prohibited in Ukraine. I've not spoken to anyone in a few years. Things came to a stop really when Russia invaded the first time. It was around the time of master's degrees, so that is about right.
I think that they were continuing with their individual projects, but I have no idea where they might be now - listening to the music, it is a single EP that was the zeitgeist Synthwave sound expressing a zeitgeist unique to Ukraine.
The music is catchy. I like it still. I'm glad to see that there are people appreciating it and, perhaps, able to hear the events of today reflected in the mood and lyrics of the songs the band recorded while there was the opportunity to do so.
To carry the weight of grave situations, it is important to try to keep a light heart.
These things were never used, mostly because of the first invasion and subsequent severance of vk social media connection.
It could do with some work, but it's solid type by the looks of it.

The music links still work - I have no idea if they will receive the money if you buy it at bandcamp, but I'm pretty sure they will not mind you downloading it for free.
That was the fee I used to charge people, generally, was keys for downloads to give away on Instagram, or wherever.
Damn, I was obsessed with social media. Terrible times.

Though you can't really tell, the stripes are the collection of steel cables at the top of Moskovskyi Bridge.
The faded city-scape is a zoomed shot from the top of the tower!

Of the four progressive variations in this set, I think I prefer the simple lettering on the gradient.
The yellow and blue was super-criticised back then. I was told by various people that it wasn't purple or neon enough. They didn't understand that I had my monitor on power saving mode without realsing for several years, and this influenced my choice of colours for everything (but looked great for playing left 4 dead).
But not the blue and yellow - that was as deliberate as Moskovskyi bridge photo for the hipster triangles.
I tried to keep their current design theme, which was a GTA type city with traingles. It wasn't a dispassionate thing to include features of the city and say Kyiv (Kiev, back then) was about as GTA as they come, what with the tanks and all.
Now, it is an entirely different matter and the humour does not come so easy.
You can follow Vice Point on Soundcloud, VKontakte or support them via their Bandcamp!
Thanks for looking!
Спасибо что посмотрел!
ps. Jazzi, the colour's don't always have to be purple neon, ok?
