Newcastle’s Twister have formally announced a name change to Juliet’s Not Dead. They head out on a UK tour this Autumn under their new moniker, which will include their first new music since their 2022 EP, Only The Strong Survive.
Mainman, Stevie Stoker, said of the name change, “This is probably the biggest decision we’ve ever made as a band, having gone under the Twister banner for so long. But following the completion of our new album with Romesh (Dodangoda, as producer) it just felt time to evolve, to kick it up, to create a brand that better represents our sound. It was hard to take the plunge but now it’s done it feels great. We love our new name and I now need another tattoo!”
He added, “We will still be playing Twister songs, they are now just Juliet’s Not Dead songs and when coupled with the new material folks will see that growth and natural progression. These are exciting times for us, not that we were jaded or treading water but the new material sounds fresh and takes us to another level. Now we get to show our fans and hopefully gain some new ones too. We’ve spent so long perfecting this show and now we absolutely can’t wait to get out there and play for everyone.”
The run of dates will take the band up and down the country and will include new music taken from their 2nd studio album, slated for release early February 2025, with the first single, Thrillseekers, expected later this August.
Many of the dates include a VIP ticket option that grants access to a Meet & Greet, as well as a special intimate, pre-show acoustic set.
