The story began on 18 January 2007 in the basement of an apartment house, where, four musicians met one evening. The point is that each of them had already played in other musical projects, but they decided to create something new that differ from the existing music.
At that time this group had neither name nor specific purpose of its existence. These «four musicians» were:
1. Elena Marchenko - vocals;
2. Viktor Korzh - guitar;
3. Artem Hurda - drums;
4. Alexander Solnevsky - guitar.
After the first rehearsal the group was named Об`єкт pid охороною and music - alternative rock. Many asked us a question: «what does "Об'єкт під охороною" mean?». It is impossible to give a definite answer. But there are two items:
1. As a girl sings in the group, she is «under guard» of the other members of the group, guys.
2. Recently, there have been a lot of stickers on doors and windows of shops on which «Об`єкт під охороною» is written. This is a kind of advertisment .
About a month the group rehearsed without a bass player (there was no decent candidates). But the problem was resolved on Feb. 23, when Vlad Fokin joined our group. The final composition of the group was formed and the first demo «Winter» was recorded. When we made a 30-minute program, we played a concert in Dnepropetrovsk with the group Green Tea. Then there were Kharkiv and native Dniprodzerzhinsk.
On June 3, we played a concert in honor of the City Day of Dniprodzerzhinsk. Then the group took a vacation for the whole summer. It must be said that after this holidays something changed in group members. This is particularly true of Helen. She began to come not so often to the rehearsal base. Thus, there has been a change. After a long and heated dispute, it was decided that we shoul take Olga Andreeva - a soloist of the Green Tea. She captured all by her voice and unquenchable energy. From this moment the real history of Об'єкт під охороною begins.
From October to December we had been rehearsing. In December, the group took part in the International Festival of Rock debut, where the group took the 1 seat. This event gave confidence to the musicians. And with renewed vigor, they are working at the new material.
In January 2008, at Fakultet Studio demo «Minutes» was recorded, it included 6 songs:
1. Засинай;
2. У моїх снах;
3. Зима;
4. Минуты;
5. Только небо;
6.Я ненавижу.
In April, the group took part in the festival MuzBat Round 7, where we met super positive guys from Kiev group Alive. It resulted in the concert in Dnipropetrovsk on 20 April. This concert was special as the group performed only one guitarist, and familiar songs sounded in a different way. In May, a group took part in the qualifying rounds of «Mazepa Fest» among the strongest teams of Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhia regions.
June 2008 seemed to be very rich in events. First, Summer Music Fest - after which remained mixed memories. Secondly, Alexander Slonevsky left the group. Oleg Smirnov took his place.
10 days after that, the group played one more performance at the festival Urok - «Rock in your town» The support that the listeners expressed to the group Об`єкт pid охороною showed that their music is very timely and people like it. And it inspires them to greater achievements.
Thus, the composition of the team at the moment:
1. Olga Andreeva - vocals;
2. Viktor Korzh - guitar;
3. Artem Hurda - drums;
4. Vlad Fokin - bass;
5. Oleg Smirnov - guitar.
