The Twang

[pilky201]

I've heard a couple of songs off this album and was wondering if anybody can recomend buying it or is it a total load of tosh:wink

[Fadetoblack]

I have a copy of nuts in the toilet and I was reading an article about them a few minutes ago. Saunders from the band used to work for HP tasting their sauces ya know.

Apparently the album is good too.....(That's all I've got I'm afraid...)

[Mattw07]

Saw them live last month and they were pretty good, would recommend the album pilky. A lot of good things being said about them.

[pilky201]

They are a brummie band and HP do have a big factory there. Thanks fade love trivial info you never know that might come up in a quiz somewhere

[samantha1303]

I love them, if you check the myspace site and their home page you will get to hear a few more tracks, if you haven't already bought the album.

What sort of music is it?

[samantha1303]

They are called a mix between Happy Mondays and The Streets.
All of their songs sound different so you could really like one and hate the others.

Have a listen here -

Either Way is so much like the Streets that Skinner teamed up with them and did a remix of it.
Wide Awake is more umph

Please make sure that you actually pay for the music if you are going to keep it - this site cannot condone music piracy.

Cheers Rick, listening to the album now... pretty good so far! Reminds me very much of Happy Mondays/Ian Brown/Stone Roses-esque with a hint of aggressive style vocals. I like. :)

[samantha1303]

Either Way is fantastic, its the best track on the album imo, it's not with the Streets though.
They released Either Way and then Mike Skinner from the Streets got together with them on Brighton Beach and did a remix of it.
The album version is just the Twang.
They then threw their brand new drum kit into the sea and told everyone get down to brighton beach if you want a drum kit.

[samantha1303]

The Twang were awesome at Wireless, sang most of the songs from the album.

Selling out again for their Oct/ Nov tour,
get down to your nearest venue now and have the time of your life its only £12.50 - with lyrics such as don't wait up how can anyone resist

Said don't wait up for me cos I'll be gone till well past three
Yeah it's one of those again where a couple's just turned into ten
I know it sounds it, it ain't funny
I've just spent the shopping money
It's not my fault she's too good natured
My mind's set on getting ******ed
So I drink myself into a state
With a silly grin upon my face
Don't wait up
Say don't wait up
And she'll be waiting by the phone
But it was her decision to stay at home
And all my thoughts for her are gone
But my thoughts for HER are very wrong
And pulling weren't on my agenda
The fact I've got a bird just makes 'em keener
I don't care my tool needs shining
She looks game for a bit of grinding
So we slither off like slithery snakes
With a silly grin upon my face
And I...
Don't wait up
It's just that naughtier side of me
Say don't wait up
It's just that naughtier side
Don't wait up
It's just that naughtier side of me
Say don't wait up
It's just that naughtier side
Now it hadn't crossed my mind all night
Then the convoy went from blue to white
There's faces I ain't seen in ages
They're all out to cane their wages
Proper chuffed that we turned up
Cos a week of work can get you wound up
Jukebox has got a great selection
A little groove might ease the tension
So we bounce around like we own the place
With a silly grin upon my face
And I...
Don't wait up
It's just that naughtier side of me
Say don't wait up
It's just that naughtier side
Don't wait up
It's just that naughtier side of me
Say don't wait up
It's just that naughtier side
And if she was a fly upon the wall
I don't think she'd wanna be my girlfriend any more
And if she was a fly upon the wall
She would see me slowly drink myself into a hole
Don't wait up
It's just that naughtier side of me
Say don't wait up
It's just that naughtier side
Don't wait up
It's just that naughtier side of me
Say don't wait up
It's just that naughtier side
It's up the bar for one last round
One, two, three, let's slam 'em down
This night's getting pretty lairy
Geezers flexing, looking scary
Some lad tries to call my bluff
The silly boy, there's enough of us
It's a shame man it was going well
It's going off, oh f... hell
We're f.....

Lyrics aren't the same just read, without the audio... that just looks like a bad poem. :)

But, I like The Twang!

[samantha1303]

Ah but all those with the album can sing along, seen as they didn't print lyrics with the album

[John]

I got a lyrics plug-in for Windows Media Player thinking it would be good. It's not. And I can't get rid. :(
