Found this cover of Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start The Fire" courtesy of a couple friends and Gimme Tinnitus. Very cool take - it's all post-punk now with more shout-singing!

Well, looks like The Forms are back after a long recording hiatus. Stereogum dropped a new track last week, and now we've got another song from their upcoming self-titled album due 10/23/07. It was recorded by Steve Albini, and features more short, punchy songs rocking out in off-kilter time signatures. Check out "Red Gun" for some great vocal harmonies in 5!

Brooklyn's The Forms have been getting a little bit of attention recently. With a singer that resembles Rob Crow, and a sound not unlike a combination of Pinback, Sunny Day Real Estate, and Built To Spill, it's hard to image why these guys haven't gotten huge already. The guitars are busy and jangy, the songs are short and sweet, and the rhythm section is rock solid. Taking this all into account, their next show is opening for The National and Takka Takka at South Street Seaport on 8/17!
