New music is expected in September, with the album to follow in early 2027 along with a full UK tour.
“I heard a great set of demos, met the guys, and soon realised that they were hungry for success again,” said Rob Collins, MD, Cooking Vinyl. “The response from producers was really strong too and now the band are fired up and ready to work!”
“After a turbulent few years we feel we’ve come out the other side with what could be our best album to date,” said The Twang’s Phil Etheridge. “After meeting Rob and the team we knew that Cooking Vinyl was the perfect home for us and the next chapter of The Twang.”
“It’s brilliant to be working with cooking vinyl,” added the band’s manager Ian Richards. “They are the perfect home for the twang catalogue and the wonderful new album in the oven as we speak!”
