Twang were an indie band from Manchester/Preston, England, signed to Ron Johnson Records.
However the band and similar hard edged label mates Big Flame and The MacKenzies somewhat disliked what they saw as lazy journalism.
The band toured nationally with Age of Chance and That Petrol Emotion and performed at a packed Hacienda at an AIDS benefit along with The Woodentops and Everything But The Girl.
Despite the band's short lifespan, they recorded three critically acclaimed sessions for John Peel's BBC Radio One show, two in 1986, and another in 1988.
[2] One song from their first Peel session; "Big Dry Out" appeared on the Manchester So Much To Answer For compilation issued through the BBC, and featuring The Smiths amongst others.
