Give Me a Wall clear vinyl and rarities CDs are in the warehouse and being sent out ¡soon! Still time to get your order in.
'This is Fourteen' Recorded live at Amsterdam Paradiso, October 2005. Stream the studio version from the Give Me A Wall sessions now, download via Bandcamp or buy as part of our rarities compilation ‘A Fearless Guide To Communication’.
I'll say that without any doubt that both Thirteen and Fourteen are my favourite ¡Forward, Russia! tracks by far - I even listen to the demo versions often - and to see Tom go into some detail and depth behind their conception, the lyrics and recording is great. Roll on February

¡Forward, Russia! had our first rehearsal ahead of next February’s gigs a couple of weeks ago. We hadn’t played together for more than 12 years. It took everyone a while to believe we were actually playing together. As the hours sweatily dissolved…
