Album review: The Twang - 'Jewellery Quarter'
There can’t be many people looking forward to this record. Since The Twang failed in their bid for world domination first time around, they’ve dropped completely off the radar – so the story of ‘Jewellery Quarter’ isn’t one of...
Live Review: The Twang
Twenty-five minutes walk from New Street Station, into the wall-crumblingly run-down Digbeth area, through the NHS glasses-thick windows, lies The Rainbow.Home to an increasing number of club nights and gigs, it retains the essence of a great...
The Twang
Ga-ga at Glasto, trashed at T In The Park, rat-arsed at Reading — no-one can deny The Twang brought the party to 2007. The latest (and final?) single from ‘Love It When I Feel Like This’, ‘Push The Ghosts’ is another, erm, step on from...

The Twang
