TWANG / JEWELLERY QUARTER 24K In celebration of the 15th anniversary of the 'Jewellery Quarter' - The Twang - will be releasing a very special edition of the album this December, re-recorded and remastered, and on vinyl for the first time ever. - A firm fan favourite from the Midlands indie massive, the album originally debuted at number 20 in the UK charts upon it's 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 it's 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 graffiti 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 definitive indie records of it's 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 first 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 certification by the Official 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".
