The Twang are an English indie rock band formed in Birmingham in 2004, known for their 2007 debut album Love It When I Feel Like This and for blending guitar-driven indie with pop sensibilities.

Review sources note a lineup change with Phil Etheridge taking a principal singing role and the addition of female vocalist Cat Mctigue; the album If Confronted Just Go Mad shifts toward pop structures, features the singles "Everytime" and "Dream", includes a vocal performance by bassist Jon Watkin on "Million Miles", and a closing collaboration with rapper Polarbear on "Nothing Gets Better".

The review frames If Confronted Just Go Mad as a successful relaunch after lineup changes, noting a clearer pop direction and strong vocal harmonies. Highlights include the singles "Everytime" and "Dream", plus a surprising vocal turn by bassist Jon Watkin. A collaboration with rapper Polarbear closes the album.

For:Fans of British indie/guitar pop, listeners of early-2000s indie nostalgia and melodic pop-rock

 The refresh to their sound is already evident from the single “Everytime”: the shift towards pop structures is clear, as is a newfound class and compositional flair in presenting them, with the added bonus of a perfect harmony between the two different types of voices (male and female).
