Live Review: LISTEN: Twerps 'He's In Stock' + Tour Announcement

Did you get to catch TWERPS a few weeks back in either Melbourne or Sydney at their intimate sold out shows? Did you find them perfect and wildly charismatic as they immersed you in their dreamy, jangly pop?

Well, I did. If I'm making you jealous because you were too busy to hop on Moshtix or too broke to spare twenty bucks then have no fear as Twerps are back for round two!

The lady and gentlemen have just announced a run of dates for a few Australian shows before they hop on a plane over to America where they'll be building their growing fanbase on their headlining tour!

Not only this, but some more juicy Twerps news is the announcement of their brand new single 'He's In Stock' – the B side from their forthcoming 7” Work It Out that is to be digitally co-released by Chapter Records and Underwater Peoples mid September as well as physically in late October.

It opens with with some crazy good guitar that could only be identified as a Twerps composition. It's quickly accompanied by moderate drumming, another guitar acting as its twangy brother's opposite and a subtle bassline. Add Marty's vocals to the concoction and you have yourself a classic, jovial Twerps tune.

After engulfing the entirety of their self-titled debut, Twerps listeners know the musical versatility this talented group invest. The record mothers some beautifully coloured tracks such as 'Dreamin', as well as heartfelt beauties like 'Bring Me Down'. 'He's In Stock' is best affiliated with 'Through The Day' and 'This Guy' as it's a short and sweet little charm that is sure to be circulating your turntable under its crackling needle very soon!

So listen to Twerps blissfully and catch them while you still can before they fly over to America!
