P.I.F. is a Bulgarian alternative rock band with lead singer Dimo Stoyanov, known as Dimo. During the 1990s, inspired by the grunge sound, Dimo and Ivan (guitarist), the core of band, found Resemblance with musicians from later formed group Crowfish. In 1992, they had already created around 40 records in English. They even lived in Hungary and held performances there for a month. After that period, they decided to return to Bulgaria and try singing in their mother language. They moved to the capital Sofia, and Resemblance fell apart. Pavlin Bachvarov (pianist), Valeri Cenkov (drummer), and Emilian Bonev (bassist) joined Dimo and Ivan to form P.I.F. Patriots in FashionIn 2000, their first album P.I.F. (Patriots in Fashion) is released. The song called Prikazka (in Bulgarian "Приказка") became an unprecedented hit. From that point they grew popularity and a number of songs from this album such as Kolelo ("Колело"), Vali ("Вали"), Patuvane ("Пътуване"), Nevidimo Dete ("Невидимо Дете"), Kambanite ("Камбаните") became very recognizable to the growing number of fans and the general public. Each song has its own history which are regularly shared with the audience by the frontman, Dimo, during their live performances. Patriots In Fashion won an award for Best Album of the Year the same year it was released.{{cn|date=April 2014}} Pictures in FramesTheir second album is called P.I.F. (Pictures in Frames), and it was released in 2001. In an interview, the band said they have separated themselves from the hustle-bustle in Sofia for several weeks in a villa in the Rila Mountain; this explained why its sound is a bit out-of-time-out-of-space. With their unique ways of creating music, the group continued gaining popularity. However, Dimo shared that the album was created in a very difficult period for the band, as at that time he was divorcing from his wife, and pianist Liubо was leaving the band. That time was recorded a song called Obarkvacia ("Обърквация") and the music video was shot. It showed vocalist and guitarist of the band kidding in a room with sofa. During the chorus appeared a little girl and two persons with "fish" and "elephant" heads. The song mixed elements of blues rock, punk rock and reggae. The song was not included in the album because the musicians said that it represented the confusion and chaos of the time it was composed.{{cn|date=April 2014}} Passion in FactIn 2004, after a tour around Europe, P.I.F. stabilized and enlarged into six members. Guitarist Hristo Hristov, bassist Martin Nikolov, and drummer Atanas Kasabov joined the group.
