Named after the area the band have been based since 2008, Jewellery Quarterhas 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.

Formed in 2004 in Birmingham comprising of vocalist Phil Etheridge, bassist Jon Watkin, guitarist Stu Hartland and drummer ‘Grandmaster’ Ash Sheehan, The Twang are one of the seminal indie bands that the UK has produced.
The first single ‘Wide Awake’ was released 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.
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’.
The Twang’s reputation as a must-see live act has solidified their status as one of the UK’s most beloved indie bands.
