Description
In celebration of the 15th anniversary of the 'Jewellery Quarter' - The Twang -
will be releasing a very special edition of the album this December, rerecorded and remastered, and on vinyl for the frst time ever
A firm fan favourite from the Midlands indie massive, the album originally debuted at
number 20 in the UK charts upon its release in 2009, with hit singles such as "Barney
Rubble" and "Encouraging Sign", alongside live staples such as "Took The Fun" and
"Back Where We Started", all cementing its celebrated status. Named after the area
the band have been based since 2008, 'Jewellery Quarter' has many other Birmingham
reference points - most notably the cover art which was hand sprayed by local grafti
artist Temper and uses the unmistakable Baskerville typeface which was designed in
Birmingham in 1757. With a timeless indie sound and a distinctive pre B- Town
bounce, the album was mixed by Neil Claxton (of Mint Royale) and stands out as one
of the defnitive indie records of its era.
Comprising of vocalist Phil Etheridge, bassist Jon Watkin, guitarist Stu Hartland, and
drummer Ash Sheehan, The Twang are up there with the greatest indie bands that the
UK has ever produced. Formed 2004 in Birmingham, the band released their frst
single "Wide Awake" in March 2007 followed by "Either Way" reaching number eight a
few weeks later. Industry wide critical acclaim followed when the band were awarded
the NME's Philip Hall Radar award. Debut album 'Love It When I Feel Like This' was
released on the 4th of June 2007 with the album reaching Number 3 in the UK charts
and has gone on to reach platinum certifcation by the Ofcial UK Charts. To date, the
band have released a total of 5 studio albums alongside a greatest hits and B-sides
compilation - spawning fan favourite singles such as "Barney Rubble", "We're a Crowd"
and "Everytime".
