THE TWANG

Birmingham based The Twang’s third album ‘10:20’ follows the success of their first two records (their debut clocking in excess of 200,000 sales bearing hits Either Way and Wide Awake, and second album delivering massive fan favourite Barney Rubble), which firmly cemented the band’s place in UK indie history.

Lambasted by the press from day one The Twang haven’t had it easy – but the sheer love for what they do has kept them going, and with this album it really is time to let the music do the talking.

THURSDAY 3 OCTOBER £14

STUBBORN HEARTLuca Santucci & Ben Fitzgerald set ears buzzing in 2011 with a then unidentified white label 12” and it’s follow up EP ‘Need Someone’ in 2012.

The duo’s self-titled debut of stunning and surprisingly poignant electronic soul emotes heartbreak over broken beats and dark, atmospheric space. The clean, ghostly production coalesces with Luca’s mournful vocal to positively ooze a bruised melancholy. Equally inspired by 80’s and 90’s electronic music and 60’s and 70’s soul, Stubborn Heart never lose their passion for good pop music.INDIAN.CO.UK

MAX ROMEOMax Romeo is a reggae and roots reggae recording artist who has achieved chart success in his home country, and in the UK. Romeo was responsible for launching an entirely new sub-genre of reggae, whose overtly suggestive lyrics caused an outcry but took a massive hold of the music scene regardless.

Yet innuendo was the least of the singer’s stylings, previous to the release of his infamous ‘Wet Dream’, Romeo had garnered a string of sweet hits with the vocal trio the Emotions. And once the nocturnal naughtiness faded, the singer established himself as one of the most important figures in the roots scene.

SATURDAY 12 OCTOBER£17.50

ANDREW ROACHFORD Roachford arrived in the late 80’s with unforgettable tracks like ‘Cuddly Toy’ and ‘Family Man’ as the first artist to sign a staggering seven-album deal with Columbia Records and was their biggest selling domestic act for 10 years.

The new LP ‘Addictive’ comes after some wait since 2005’s ‘Word Of Mouth’.ROACHFORD.CO.UK

DEAF SCHOOLBOOK LAUNCH CELEBRATIONPLUS SPECIAL GUESTS

If Paul Du Noyer’s forthcoming book on Deaf School had already been published we wouldn’t need to describe the band’s huge significance. Of the band the author says “In the whole history of Liverpool music two bands matter most, one is the Beatles and the other is Deaf School”

Deaf School is a very rich mix of remarkable tunes, intelligent lyrics, sharp arrangements and high-end musicianship. All of this delivered with wit, charm and glamour. If this sounds at odds with the many monochrome, inert self-regarding acts working today it is intentional.DEAFSCHOOLMUSIC.COM
