you could download eight, nine and eleven on their website (forwardrussia.com) a little while ago, too- but they may've moved them/taken them down. i think the plan was to re-release nine? which kinda doesn't make sense if they're gonna stick to the "releasing singles numerically" thing. great track though...
If you ever see their split single with This Et Al (also on dance to the radio) get it- it's ace!

despite the matching t-shirts/tricksy exclamation marks/takeaway menu approach to naming songs, they are very good & enormously entertaining live (watching tthe singer trying to garotte himself with the mic lead...)

¡Forward, Russia! 's very last song ever is called Infinity.

It's Infinity times Infinity better.

Our guess at Rewriteable Content is that the Boy Least Likely To date is false, but since neither act is on sale it is impossible to say.

hi!
all of forward russia's recorded output to date (except new versions of 12 and 4 cos they're on iTunes) can be found on the band's forum at http://www.forwardrussia.com/forum/index.php
enjoy!
