Meanwhile, there are 3 releases of the band from Moscow on afmusic. Founded in 2005 as a duo the transformation of German New Wave and EBM-bands influenced songs towards bass-heavy and atmospheric post-punk took its place. Before there is new material of the band, we have "Garlics" promo compilation for you as a free-download. In addition to the 3 EP's there are some more recent live recordings on it. Anyone who didn't took notice of The Forced Oscillations until now can get a complete impression of the bands' work and their experimentation on this way. - Falk Merten

It's been a while since we published 2 EP's of the russian indie band On Wave on afmusic. After "Vodka Bear Matreshka" in August last year and the follower "Special Thanks" in January 2009, it became a little quiet around Ilya Romanenkov, Misha Proskurin, Maksim Sushkov and their new drummer Marak Gvozdovsky. Though means quiet not sitting around idly and so there are now 15 new tracks, the full debut album "Ginger". True to their motto 'We are doing Indie. For You' as a free download. Purchase a version of the album will be available from mid-January in all major download stores and in the MP3 shop of afmusic too. - Falk Merten
