The Twang unfazed by criticism
Posted: 06 Mar '07, 15:47
If it's not NME then it's Music Week - you (well, I) can't seem to turn a music rag page without seeing The Twang staring back at me. But for every high-five the Brummies have received in the press, they've taken a good kick in the balls, too.
And it turns out they're nay bothered. Who'd have thought?
Bassist Jon Watkin told website Gigwise.com: "A lot of people will hate us, but I think we’ve got good songs. The music always does the talking don’t it really?"
I've never seen a turd talk, Jon. The four-stringer continued:
"We’re really enjoying it. People can hype us up if they want. I think we’re a bit different. We just want to have a laugh. We just want people to enjoy themselves have a bit of a party. You just don’t take it too seriously. Music is music."
Unless it's shit, in which case it's shit. And The Twang release some shit, called 'Wide Awake', on March 19. It's well shit, mate.

I still haven't heard The Twang yet. But they look like Ocean Colour Scene's pasty/pastie-faced uncles. Which is always a good sign.
-
I have now heard them and can officially corroborate that
they're shit.
-
Why does the English music scene
need a band that are worse than Oasis, worse than Ocean Colour Scene and much, much worse than the Streets?
Is it to find out how low people will stoop?
Fucking hell.
-
Probably better
than looking like someones specky uncle who wanks in front of midget porn all day
-
-
are they
shit by any chance?
-
Is it ok to refer to them as
Cack Twang? Or is that been done already?
-
has
-
-
The look shit
i think i will give giving them a try a miss.
-
the
WANG.
-
The Shit Stabbers
-
The
Twangkers?
-
-
It would seem
The only posts I'm making at the moment are in response to Twang articles...just so I can say how much I despise them.
That's how much I despise them!!-
They don't sound like Thousand Yard Stare
They sound like Airhead.
-
"I've never seen a turd talk, Jon."
brilliant.
-
hehhehh
turd
-
Mr. Hankey
could talk...
-
i dot think anyband
has ever been as shit as they are.
im trying to think of a band thats worse.
theyre like ...
no..
theyre just the worst.
-
oo ooo oooo
KOOPA
no wait...
i make that a draw

1000 Yard Stare
<weep> good times, good times
-
crikey
i quite like both thousand yard stare and airhead (check out how much boing goes for second hand on ebay).
i dont like the twang much though, to me they are a carbon copy of flowered up.
-
-
-
You are all...
giving me the creeps.
They are a good band.
Overated?
Yes.
But still worthy of a a little praise. -
I'm getting
so sick of the Oasis wannabees that keep emerging. I don't understand why everyone appears to want to copy a band that spent their whole career copying the Beatles. Are there no bands with brains in Britain anymore?
-
they....
sound like they want to be U2 on that latest single but also want to be a pub band. They've done well to get signed, i hope the rest of the country don;'t think all Midlands bands are that bad. I blame coked up label scouts for signing shit like that...
-
I quite like "Wide Awake".....
but then again i have had the fortune (or not! as the case is) to have had a sneaky of their proposed album and i can indeed confirm they are shite. The Major labels are falling over themselves to sign bands for a lot of money only for it to transpire that they are clearly not ready and or they are shite.
-
-
-
NME aside...
I can't remember a band who were this unanimously disliked. Perhaps there is some hope for humanity, for indeed, they are shite.
-
Shite
There's nothing good about what they do or who they are
-
They're only disliked....
....on this website. They're playing Astoria in May and their entire current tour is sold out......
-
unanimously disliked...
...but still pushed by the record company... never heard of The Hours? Exactly... SHITE!
-
-
who were...
...Airhead?
-
WOW.. so much negativity
can i join in?
shit

'I've never seen a turd talk, Jon.'

Diver you CUNT
Mike Diver is a shite play-at-journalist arse chomping cunt. And I wish him early impotence, athletes foot, and scurvy. His type of writer rise to temporary fame on the back of a few cheap shots. FUCK you Diver. The Twang are fucking superb. I realise it's not fashionable amongst "serious" music fans to like bands like this. Fuck 'em. I went to see the Twang the other night and had an ace time. Most of the people on here are in FAILED (hurts doesn't it?) bands anyway, and sport awful production-line mullets that would make Steve Marriott turn in his urn. What the fuck to they know about it? the nearest most of the people who comment on here will come to this level of adulation is wanking in front of the mirror while holding a tennis racket. The Twang don't come to your place of work and slap the cock out of your mouth do they? so let them have their fame and fuck off to the pub and bitch, you jealous little pricks.
-
lol at this ^
nice how you post this over a month after it was written...
cat got your balls?
the twang are shit, and i'll wank out to tim henman in jodpers all i like shitcakes...
-
c'mon mate..
have another listen, they're fucking wank.
and headling the John Peel stage at glastonbury??? he'll be turning in his grave.
-
maybe
most people have better things to do than spend every waking hour pouring over message boards.
the twang aren't the worlds greatest band but some people on this site would have u believe bis were more important than the beatles innit.
rather they were around than half the mediocre nonsense written about on here.
the poshos always get upset when real people have a go don't they?
