It's just I read about this band Korova and I've never heard of them before...anyone have any idea as to who they are?

They sound cool...just downloaded one of their songs...always a winner when you name check Peter Cook!

Are they related to Korova Milk Bar from the 1990s? not a very original name taking it from an over referenced book is it?

No idea, though I imagine a Clockwork orange is certainly the most likey comparison...unless you want to go for the word's russian translation of 'cow' ???

One of their songs is linked on their profile though...band name is aside its a pretty damn good song!

Bad English there...of course I meant "band name aside"

are they the ones from edinburgh? I saw them once a couple of years ago, they're friends of friends or something. good band.
and they had an amusing song called "i left my penis on cockburn street" ...edinburgh folks will know the place 'fondly'.

The review says they're from Edinburgh.

Really? what an awful lyric...seems quite incongruent compared to their other ones...they seem to be alright...very politique!

How exciting, discovering a new band!
