Twisted are back back back! Kinda. This band has had more lineups than a particularly injury prone baseball team. Doesn’t seem to affect them as they keep bouncing back, things aren’t wildly different from what’s gone before – super charged punk that bends the garage and emo genres into one, like if Greg Cartwright joined Rites of Spring (well, not exactly, but I don’t have much wiggle room here and can’t spend hours coming up with a better thing to say). Twisted only got round to leaving us with 4 songs here but it’s a super exciting selection, bursting at the seams with energy and melody, there is a bit at the end of Holy Moments that really hits the spot, going a bit Husker Du. Then they fly back off the handle into “I’m Not Sick”. This is way too tight and accomplished to be a demo. But I guess that’s what happens when you aren’t a band for a bit and people forget about you. Anyway, there is an album in the works and on this evidence, you are going to want it. In the meantime, kick back and marvel at this little lot. Shit’s twisted.
