Remember in the 90s when everyone was way into like The West, and adding a pseudo-Country twang to all their shit? I feel like that's kind of happening these days as well, with all the War on Drugs, Cass McCombs type acts. Anyway, who can really say.. its not like its a bad thing, or anything! There's just something psychedelic about the desert, man. Here we are now in chilly January with Twerps. The Melbournians loosen up a bit on their latest jam, letting those 6 strings rattle a little longer. Indebted to other jangle wranglers, such as (late career) Jesus and Mary Chain, Starflyer 59, Paula Cole (yup), and more recently Pure X, Twerps blend their own version of (Long Hair-Don't Care) TumbleWeed-wave. The chorus is a crescendos of dizzy haze, with backing vocals, distortion, and the steady throb of some groovin toms. Its very Indie and its very good, in fact I don't mind this one at all. Be sure to check out their new LP (Home On The) Range Anxiety, out soon.

Twerps - Back To You (video)
Australian Indie rawkers, release this sunny, guitar pop, head bobber. Reminiscent of The Chills, Talulah Gosh, and Felt, Twerps are Indie purists; delving into the late 80s, and early 90s and having a good time while doing it! Back To You clocks in at just 2mins and 30 secs, the length Pop songs should be!
