History

Back Back Forward Punch formed in 2010 as an electronic trio with Laura Boland on lead vocals, Andy Liddell on keyboards and production, and John Walsh on production. The three future members had started collaborating in Newcastle in late 2006. At that time Boland was "singing Jamiroquai and Beyonce in a covers band" while Liddell was a "bedroom" producer. They relocated to Melbourne, where they formed the trio which, according to the group, "tend to sway back and forth between velvety nu-disco and quirky electro."

In May 2010 they issued an extended play, Punching Air in the Nyah. One of its tracks, "What Do We Do?", appeared on the various artists mixtape album, Friday MixTape #65, in October 2011. Their debut single, "Red Boots", was issued in January 2012 with an associated music video, which was directed by Stuart Liddell. Their next single, "On the Run", appeared as a music download in mid-year, which AuspOp's website's writer described as "super-tasty" and "super-strong, super-charged, high-energy dance/pop number that points to very exciting things to come."

By February 2013 Walsh had left and Back Back Forward Punch continued as the duo of Boland and Liddell. They issued "Zero to Disco", which the AdamNotEve reviewer indicated "By the time the vocals are introduced it’s hard not to find yourself grooving along to the mesmerizing melody, and by the chorus it becomes almost impossible not to dance" and that "[they] are destined for big things and are definitely a duo to watch out for". A music blog, Indieshuffle, exclaimed that the single delivered "dance floor euphoria" where "Glistening synth waves and sharp percussion lay the platform for Boland's soulful vocals to come to the fore." Stoney Roads' Bary Poppins felt it brought a "very Miami Horror-reminiscent sound to the table, joining Australia's good vibe club."

In July 2013 they released "Don't Stop Now", which was dubbed "essential listening" by Australian music blog WhoTheHell.net. The site likened Boland’s voice to Giselle Rosselli on Flight Facilities’ "Crave You". Moustache MagazineШаблон:'s Anthony Thomas described the group as "Potentially the greatest Australia disco act doing the rounds right now and they have a new clip! If this story is anything to go by, it seems chickens are just as stereotypical as us humans." As a result of receiving national air-play, the single was reviewed by Indieshuffle's Hugh McClure "[it] swings into action quickly and the smooth pace is kept throughout, with Boland's gentle vocals hovering above a fluid, polished bassline. The synth arrangement and sampling slide effortlessly in giving it more of a laid-back, poppy feel – making for a very easy listen", The Vine and Discobelle.
