The first great new band of 2006



¡Forward, Russia!



If they don't spend another year playing a million gigs to a hundred people instead of the other way round. Get to see them in a small venue, before only the big ones beckon.

These tracks are session versions, recorded yesterday at BBC's Maida Vale studios. 12 is a new version of their new single, and of course, 17 shares its name with two other great tracks, by the Regents (yes, I'm old!) and Ladytron.

EDIT: Just got the third track, Nine, and I've added that too.

¡Forward, Russia! - Twelve (BBC Radio 1 session 03-01-2006).mp3
¡Forward, Russia! - Seventeen (BBC Radio 1 session 03-01-2006).mp3
¡Forward, Russia! - Nine (BBC Radio 1 session 03-01-2006).mp3

They sound pretty good. And they're playing in Cork on the 2nd April.

Saw them last month in Moles Club, Bath. Apart from their recent single (Thirteen) they were abysmal. They will never make it. However the support band (dont know name) but obviously inspired by At The Drive-In were very good.
