The Twang

Shit name. Shit band: I find them un-fucking-bearable - just look at them:















Check out the way one of them's doing the patented 'rock moron two fingered peace symbol', whilst the other's doing the patented 'rock moron two fingered fuck off symbol'. Oh the dichotomy: I mean, looking at them you'd never guess that these boys are just another boring, meat 'n' two veg, run-of-the-mill outfit with no ambition other than 'avin' it fuckin' large' and 'connecting with the people, man'. But that's what they are!

And then we get to the music. Godawful, dreary, dumb inarticulate crap: "I feel so much better to-day / I've chased the bad things a-way" (genius). Dumb, inarticulate rock can be great; dumb, inarticulate, pedestrian, Madchester-lite MOR rubbish like this, can't.

They're the musical equivalent of a 'Gregg's the Baker's' lunchtime queue on a drizzly Tuesday in Mosely. Boring, boring, boring.

Please, The Twang, go away.
