The Twang are a baggy-influenced indie rock band from Birmingham, England. The band garnered national acclaim when the influential NME magazine produced an article on music acts (which also featured fellow Midlanders Ripchord and The Enemy) in the West Midlands, and has led to band coming second in the BBC News website's Sound of 2007 poll. The band's debut single, "Wide Awake", was released March 19, 2007, with an album set to follow later this year. 'Wide awake' is played frequently on XFM manchester from which the song and band have gained large popularity in Manchester. The album is being produced by long term collaborator Gavin Monaghan, at The Magic Garden studio, Wolverhampton, assisted by Gazz Rogers.
