The Twang
The Twang are a baggy-influenced indie rock band from Birmingham, England. The band garnered national acclaim when the influential NME magazine produced an article on music acts (which also featured fellow Midlanders Ripchord and The Enemy) in the West Midlands, and has led to band coming fourth in the BBC News website's Sound of 2007 poll. The band's number one fan, Nigel Brady, said that they are the best live band in the world ever ever ever ever.The band's debut single, "Wide Awake", was released March 19, 2007, with their debut album Love It When I Feel Like This, released on June 4, 2007, and being produced by the band's long term collaborator Gavin Monaghan (who has also worked with Nizlopi).
"Wide Awake" was produced at The Magic Garden Studio, in Wolverhampton, assisted by Gazz Rogers. "Wide Awake" has had lots of play on the Radio Station XFM Manchester, as well as on other national and local Radio Stations.Lead singer Phil Etheridge is an Aston Villa fan, Saunders is a Birmingham City fan whilst the rest are West Bromwich Albion fans as stated in a Live Lounge Session on Radio 1 presented by Jo Whiley.The band recently worked with The Streets on a remix of their hit single "Either Way". The remix also featured up-and-coming rapper Professor Green.
In April 2007 they had their first NME cover. The Twangs UK tour has been an instant success selling out most of the venues across the country. Phil and Saunders are born performers. A very lively show and crowd makes for a great show a must see band live.Look out for them at the 2008 festivals.
