The Twang
The Twang are an indie rock band from the Birmingham area. They formed in 2001 and are still going at the present. The band consists of vocalist and lead guitarist Phil Etheridge, bassist John Watkins, drummer Matt Clinton along with back up vocalist Martin Saunders and guitarist Stu Hartland.
The band first hit national stardom when they were interview by acclaimed magazine NME in an article about the best bands to come from the west midlands and they were only second to The Enemy.
They belong to the record label B-unique which also has acclaimed bands Kaiser chiefs and the ordinary boys. They're live shows are acclaimed for violence between fans of the band and security staff and doormen, this is possibly due to the style of the music that they play appeals to people involved in football hooliganism, since however the band has released statements saying they don't promote violence and that they're is a need for higher security measures at their shows.
They have released two albums named "Love it when i feel like this" and "Jewellery Quarter" enjoying notable success with both despite the heavily controlled charts of todays music.
