“Touring their new record, FORWARDS!, we're stoked to be hosting JoFo at Exchange. Support from Victor Villarreal (Cap'n Jazz/Owls/Ghosts and Vodka + more). FORWARDS! is a collection of songs by Johnny Foreigner about their hometown and how they really feel about it. For almost twenty years, Birmingham indie-rock 4 piece have occupied a unique corner of UK alternative music, and today they announce a brand new LP, or what they are calling a “Small Collection of Songs,” due 4th September via Alcopop! Records.”
