¡Forward, Russia!'s debut album, 'Give Me A Wall' was one of my favorite musical highlights from last year. I was lucky enough to catch them during their live KEXP in studio session while they were in town for CMJ. Amazing energy and really solid songs. Definitely excited to hear some news about their new album. It seems the Leeds band has decided to ditch their homeland, head over to Seattle and have brought Mastodon Producer on board for the adventure. The band wrote on their website: "We have started the recording of our second album, and we hope to keep you up to date with its progress and all our goings on via the new website. There's not been a lot of action from the ¡Forward, Russia! camp recently, and that's because we have been holed up writing new songs for the follow up to 'Give Me A Wall'. It's been going pretty well, and we are now starting to record them for album #2. We are very lucky to right now be in Seattle, USA working with awesome producer and all-round nice guy Matt Bayles on getting these songs down. As well as previously dong all the electronics in Minus The Bear, Matt has made some amazing albums over the years by bands like Botch, Isis, Blood Brothers and has recently been working with Mastodon and Fall Of Troy. We're really looking forward to seeing how everything pans out!"
