Its time for some new kicks.
still have a very soft spot for Forward Russia! and many of the bands up there. have you heard the new LC! album? it's really REALLY good IMO, slight change of direction but it totally works.
ReplyDeletethe Fratellis went absolutely downhill after the first album though, but i didn't even like that one very much either so maybe that's just me. :>
