The Twang

Push The Ghosts

Ga-ga at Glasto, trashed at T In The Park, rat-arsed at Reading — no-one can deny The Twang brought the party to 2007. The latest (and final?) single from ‘Love It When I Feel Like This’, ‘Push The Ghosts’ is another, erm, step on from ‘Two Lovers’, a pill-pop classic that sees Phil ruminating on the fame game assisted by the bassline from Salt‘N’Pepa’s ‘Push It’. “I’ve got a devil in me and he’s pointing to the big time” he bellows, equal parts Ian Brown and Billy Liar. Says more about the damaged, X-Factor-addled psyche of modern Britain than a month of Panorama.
