With the untimely breakup of At the Drive-In, Les Savy Fav has taken over the title of Best Live Band in the indie rock world. The four-piece band, which formed in 1995 while its members were students at the Rhode Island School of Design, has released two full-length albums and a handful of seven-inches. Their most recent, and easily most impressive release to date, is the ROME (Written Upside Down) EP, released in the fall of 2000 on Southern. This fall, the band will hit the road with the likes of Modest Mouse, !!!, and labelmates the Apes, to promote the upcoming release of their third studio LP, Go Forth, which is slated for an October 30th release on their own Frenchkiss imprint. The tracklist looks a little something like this:

01 Trajic Monsters
02 Reprobates Resume
03 Crawling Can Be Beautiful
04 Disco Drive
05 The Slip
06 Daily Dares
07 Melancholy
08 Pills
