Pussy Riot - pure political activism or music?

I've started to follow Russian punk music group Pussy Riot, not so much for their music but for their political activism. They are playing a high stakes game, they are under some deep pressure - I understand it is their own doing.

They are bold, that's for sure, taking on the Russian political establishment is not for the faint hearted nor is making statements about Vladimir Putin. They have been thrown in prison, not just overnight either, they had a reasonably long stint. Whilst I don't necessarily agree with their tactics, throwing a punk prayer in a Russian Orthodox church, I thought that was a little disrespectful. 

Then after crashing the soccer pitch during the world cup protesting wearing fake police uniforms activist Peter Verzilov was flown to Germany after he was allegedly poisoned where he lost his sight and ability to speak, you apparently don't mess with the Russian authorities. So now they are going to receive some compensation based on the court's ruling - I wonder what is next.
