You can't really hate ¡Forward, Russia!, but it's rather hard to find the novelty in "Eighteen" when it almost sounds exactly like Bloc Party's "Banquet." But you're torn, because it sounds good.
And yet, there is novelty in the band. Call me biased, but when a band sports a chick with sticks, I'm likely to lend a tender ear. And Katie Nicholls, drums, handles her cymbals pretty well. Rob Canning, Bass, got me instantly hooked to "Nine." Then Whiskas and Nicholls blended in nicely to welcome Tom Woohead's vocals into the whole tune. If you're in England right now, and you're into the whole Post-Punk Scene, now is the time to check them out, because they have the caliber of bloc party, but they're still pretty underground.
