Band To Watch: ¡Forward, Russia!
Having already given us Kaiser Chiefs and The bloody Cribs, Leeds delivers a new Band To Watch in ¡Forward, Russia!. Recommended if you like At The Drive-In, !!!, and punctuation in general (these post-punkers would make a nice addition to your Indie Rock Fantasy League). All four MP3s on their MySpace page are audio caffeine; "Nine" is my fave, but current single "Thirteen," with its killer chorus, is worth downloading as well.

I normally love dancepunk, but I just don't get these guys...they don't seem to have any of the choons that say, Radio 4 or !!! have. Ditto Clap Your Hands Say Yeah.

forward russia are superb but you can shut up with the punctuation crap. it's a good name for a good band, if you prefer female bass players then keep listening to the smashing pumpkins you boring idiot. halloween in nottingham is gonna be mental, if you're not trick or treating with your mum then you should come!!!!
