Forward Russia Explain Decision To Leave Dance To The Radio

iForward, Russia! released their acclaimed debut album Give Me A Wall via the Dance To The Radio label - as run by the band's guitarist Whiskas. However, with the announcement of follow-up record Life Processes, also came the news that the Leeds quartet had inked a deal with Cooking Vinyl for the release.

Speaking of their decision to jump ship, Whiskas explains: "It was a joy to be involved on a massive creative level with this album and with so much investment in that aspect of the record, it seemed wrong and I felt unable to plough that attention into it's release - so as a whole band we thought it would be best to seek an independent outlet for Life Processes. With Cooking Vinyl so enthusiastic about the album, we've felt quite comfortable throughout the change."

Front man Tom Woodhead has also spoken out about the change in direction on Life Processes: "People may be surprised by some of the quieter, prettier parts; some of the heavier parts will raise eyebrows, too. Spanish Triangles' is the song that will be mentioned most with regard to our 'new direction'."
