molotov
A molotov, also known as Molotov cocktail, is a type of homemade incendiary device. It's typically made up of a glass bottle filled with a flammable substance like gasoline, with a cloth soaked in the same substance acting as a wick. When lit and thrown, the liquid inside ignites, creating a large flame or explosion. The term originates from the Finnish use of the weapon during the Winter War against the Soviet Union, and is named after the Soviet politician Vyacheslav Molotov.

The band's lyrics are risqué, playful, and frequently aggressive.
