Someone's annoyed by you, Boris Yeltsin

It's not quite up there with the sudden problem faced a few years back by I Am The World Trade Center, but Someone Still Loves You, Boris Yeltsin are having an awkward time now that Boris had thrown his vodka glass of life into the mortal fireplace. Philip Dickey is squirming slightly:

"I feel really awkward. This is the busiest my phone and email have ever been in my life."

He explained that the band have had the name for a while, despite it seeming like a timely attention-seeking move.

He told Radar: "We had this national release in October. I don't blame people if they suspect that this is just us wanting attention...If we tried to change it we might come up with something worse."

Dickey also took the opportunity to mention his new side project Alan Ball On The Wing would be taking bookings soon.
