PRE-SAVE ‘JEWELLERY QUARTER 24K’ HERE

PLUS, THE TWANG WILL PERFORM THE RECORD IN FULL, ALONG WITH FAVOURITES AND A FEW SURPRISES, AT A RUN OF DECEMBER SHOWS

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, ‘Jewellery Quarter 24K’ will be available as an extremely limited edition gold splatter LP with a fresh take on the classic artwork.

A firm fan favourite from the Midlands indie massive, the album originally debuted at number 20 in the UK charts upon its 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 its 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 its era.
Re-recorded and remastered, ‘Jewellery Quarter 24K’ will be available for the first time ever on Vinyl this December (via Townsend music). Presented as an extremely limited edition Gold & Black splatter LP, it will feature a fresh take on the classic artwork (as pictured). Released on Vinyl on 6th December, you can pre order it now here: thetwang.tmstor.es

Comprising of vocalist Phil Etheridge, bassist Jon Watkin, guitarist Stu Hartland, and drummer ‘Grandmaster’ 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”.
In honour of the new release and anniversary, The Twang will also be hitting the road with a new UK tour this December in which they will be performing the ‘Jewellry Quarter’ album in its entirety, including some tracks that have never been played live before. The shows will also see the band raising the roof with a selection of classics from across their canon, with plans for a few other surprises too… Tickets are on sale now - available here.
