iForward, Russia! are taking a “lengthy break” from making music.
The band, who recently cancelled a number of gigs set for October, stated:
“We have decided to take a break from doing ¡Forward, Russia! – for a lot of different reasons. The idea of doing another tour with nothing new to offer was something that enthused none of us, and the idea of re-booting on a productive strand is something we’re not quite ready to face just yet. Added to which, the last few months of inactivity has led us all on paths away from the band. I know that sounds odd, having released an album only a few months ago, but I don’t think any of us were connected to the mechanics of its release.
Apart from that, we have been trying to get together as many live bootlegs, session tracks and ‘rarities’ as we can, with the thought of putting as many as possible on our website for people to enjoy. This depends on £ and webspace, but we’ll work on it and let you know how we do – hopefully we can do something by the time of the gig in October.”
