Biography
The Twang
The Twang formed in Birmingham in 2004, Phil Etheridge's energetic, melodic songwriting and the band's post-Britpop sound giving them a quality that was immediately distinctive. They signed to B-Unique Records and released their debut album 'Love It When I Feel Like This' (2007) — one of the most energetic British debuts of the year.
'Either Way', 'Wide Awake', and 'Two Lovers' were all excellent singles. The album reached number three. The Twang were briefly one of the most talked-about British indie bands of the year — their energy and melodic invention were genuinely impressive.
The Twang have continued to record and tour with remarkable consistency. 'Paradise and Nowhere' (2009) was a strong follow-up. They remain one of the most underrated British indie bands of their generation.
