Yeah first class stuff, I've got some
Gary Clail
Strange Parcels
African Head Charge
TackHead
Mark Stewart
Dub Syndicate
2 Bad Card
Creation Rebel
& quite a few Pay It All Back compilations
I'm ashamed to say it doesn't get played as much as it used to, a lot has been played to death about 11 or more years ago.

Depends on the age I suppose. It is suitably brutal as are some of Banksys images...
There is a kind of visual correlation.
On the other hand perhaps not - Dont forget the beat 
No Sell Out ..

Stuff from Gary Clail does ring true to Banksy's ideals
Privatise The Air " they want to privatise the air....are you gonna buy them shares..."
Two Thieves And A Liar " I bet you there are millions of people who think people who work here in the city are really good blokes, hard working, that they've got the economy of this nation deep in their hearts, what a load of old cobblers, it's the best confidence trick in history"
These Things Are Worth Fighting For "one law for the rich and another for the poor"
Decadence "decadence - where morals dont come easily"
lots of other song titles like, Behind Every Fortune..."there's a crime"
And I think On U Sound System was Bristol based.
Time wise we'd be looking at 1990 onwards.

twas me...seeing them Friday at Brizzle Uni
www.myspace.com/thetwang
i think "wide awake" is their next / current offering...it's not bad...but hardly deserving of the "next big thing" title

Not that I've got anything against those bands I've seen Echo & The Bunnymen & Simple Minds live back in the day.
Things have moved on since then though, so I'm surprised they're getting much attention.

you two still on about the twang? they're not fit to lick ian mucculoch's sh*t. simple minds and big country, i can see the similarities especially in the production.
royaltee, i went there with bad expectations and thought they weren't that bad, i'm just sick of the media giving such bands these qualifications. tell us why they're supposedly "good" and if it tickles our fancy we might look out for them.
oh, and i managed to get me a couple of tickets for the arctics at the astoria on the friday. the only gig i've got to look forward to 'til kings of leon in july. need to get out a bit more.

Well done on getting Astoria tickets!
I've got a few gigs booked up:
Rumble Strips
Biffy Clyro / Twang / Hadouken / Wombats
The Twang (again if they're good)
Cooper Temple Claus
Six Nation State
The Blood RAm
Midlake
Seasick Steve
Cold War Kids
Cat Power
Willy Mason
Roger Waters
Reading Festival
was tempted to see KoL again...the new album is really growing on me...but Swindon is sold out & I'm not desperate enough to pay silly money on the bay

i hate this word but that's quite an eclectic mix of bands there and reading too. went last year but couldn't stay for the sunday, had to watch it on tv. 
i was going to see milburn in southend but got to babysit so the wife is going with her brother instead. i'm sure i'll lose respect for this but i love them. yes they sound a lot like the arctics but that's like saying the beatles sound like oasis - bit of an anachronism. they've got an album they're recording just now and their doing a little tour to road test a few bits, not that i'll get to hear them.
plus the nme hate them, which makes me love them even more!
