Twerps are an indie rock band hailing from Melbourne, Australia, known for their jangly guitar-centric sound that draws on the quintessential DIY ethos of 1980s indie pop. The band was formed in late 2008, and it wasn't long before their blend of lo-fi production and melodic charm caught the attention of the Australian music scene. The group's self-titled debut EP, "Twerps," released in 2009, served as a compelling introduction to their laid-back yet catchy songwriting style, while their following works steadily built upon this foundation.
Gaining further acclaim with each release, Twerps have continued to refine their sound, maintaining a balance between understated vocals and evocative guitar work. Their 2015 album "Range Anxiety" showcases this evolution, capturing a growth in lyrical depth and instrumental sophistication, indicative of a band coming into its own. Other releases, including the singles "Back to You" and "Always Waiting," and the EP "Underlay," further illustrate Twerps' ability to craft infectious tunes that are both introspective and relatable. With a reputation for earnest, compelling music, Twerps have carved out a unique space for themselves within the indie rock landscape, much to the delight of fans across Australia and beyond. Their story is punctuated by consistent output and a dedication to the independent spirit, as evidenced by their comprehensive "The Twerps (Expanded Edition)" which offers listeners a more complete look at their formative years.
