The Twitch - Time For Change
by Raymond Sawkins | 4:57 am 10/08/2010
Rangi Records / Border Music (4.5/5)
Well, if you know anything about The Twitch, you will know they are experts at putting maximum attitude into everything they wave their wand at. This piece of pure Rock ‘n’ Roll magic is no exception. Just looking at the cover will bring you to your knees, stooped over in a frothing mess, shaking your stereo in anticipation of what’s to come.
Within seconds you can tell The Twitch have stepped up their game. The sonic explosion of screaming guitars will leave your open jaw frothing on the ground and this is only the first song (which is only two minutes thirty!!). The sound is clean, tight, crisp and damn right sexy.
One thing you notice throughout this well-rounded album is that The Twitch really know how to get the most out of a three-piece. Each member has their own distinctive vocal style that really shines during their respective lead tracks. Fleur is a cross between Joan Jett and Courtney Love, Josh sounds like Caleb Followill, and Jesus reminds me of Iggy Pop, or Lou Reed with a hint of Jim Morrison. This makes Time For Change a truly diverse album that never leaves you bored.
Overall this is a very honest album that deals with a wide range of emotions without going soft. The decision to bring in Jimmy Christmas (The D4, Luger Boa) has made this tight band focus on the arrangements, making Time for Change a cohesive and well thought-out stonker.
