THE TWANG - LOVE IT WHEN I FEEL LIKE THIS

(AU magazine June 2007)

(b-unique)

There's nary a music fan in the world who doesn't enjoy a big dumb indie
anthem, and summer is the time to display them, from country's tip to
tail, as beered-up festival goers revel.
The Twang decided this was a basis for a pop career, and have presented 11
tracks for their debut with the potential to sweep a crowd into a frenzy
as surely as 'A Design For Life', all soaring guitars and modern urban
slang.
Their unsavoury deal assures them a stadia-lined future, but
unfortunately, their sound is best defined as 'Jasper Carrott fronting the
Stone Roses'. After the hype of downloads 'Wide Awake' and 'Either Way',
the album's tunefulness -- or lack -- is genuinely disappointing and Phil
Etheridge's heavily-accented voice just verges on comedic.
These Brummies love their modern slang, so they surely won't mind if you
give Love It When I Feel Like This the twang.
