According to Mr Russia frontman Ivan Russia, "Boys Keep Swinging" is especially significant to the group as it's the first song they learned to play after forming. The A side of the 7" features a version recorded in their rehearsal space before ever playing in front of an audience, while the B side includes an alternate take recorded later in the studio. The band also made a video for the song:
"I don't download music, I buy records and CDs," Ivan said. "I have fond memories of trolling the bins at Hegewisch Records (RIP). It taught me a great appreciation for music and exposed me to so many artists I treasure to this day. I feel Reckless Records is keeping that experience alive and I am quite pleased to have them exclusively distributing our first seven inch."
Boys Keep Swinging comes on the heels of the band's 2009 EP, Training for the Gameshow Host (available for free download), as well as their debut full-length, Teething.
