The Twang is a British indie rock band from Birmingham.

history

The band was formed in the early 2000s when Phil Etheridge and Jon Watkin got together and made music together. By 2004 it became the five-person group The Twang . Tours and appearances followed, and in 2006 they appeared at a show at the Birmingham Bar Academy. Even before their first release, they received promising reviews and were ranked second among upcoming musical talents by the BBC behind Mika on Sound of 2007 .

In 2007 the successful debut album Love It When I Feel Like This actually followed , which made it to number 3 on the album charts and was awarded gold . It also spawned the top 10 hit Either Way . The Twang then received the Philip Hall Radar Award at the 2007 NME Awards .

Two years later, the album Jewelery Quarter was released , but it fell well short of its first successes.
