In 2019, it’s 15 years since Phil Etheridge, Martin Saunders, Jon Watkin, Stu Hartland and Matthew Clinton formed The Twang. I’ve liked them ever since their 2007 debut single Wide Awake.

It took the band five years to come up with their fifth studio album If Confronted Just Go Mad. It marks a more poppy musical direction and the departure of Saunders. Also, it includes vocals from new female singers Cat Mctigue and Rio Hellyer. Both of them also perform for rising star Tom Grennan. Their contribution provides The Twang with a new optimistic sound, as you can hear on their new single It Feels Like (You’re Wasting My Time).
