It\u2019s a tough musical niche to do well, and they really do excel at what they do. Fans of The Urban Voodoo Machine will know Twisters main man Adrian Stranik from regular stints with Paul-Ronney Angel\u2019s gang. He\u2019s been fine-tuning the Twisters for a few years, since the end of his previous band, The Silver Brazilians. So, if you dig the scene, let\u2019s jump in\u2026<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Night Tripper\u2019 sets the pace, and should get you up and bopping. It could, in the best way imaginable, be 1956. Fast and lean. \u2018Fender Car Disaster\u2019 is John Lee Hooker on amphetamines, \u2018You Give Me Nothing\u2019 is as good as three chords gets; they are clearly loving every minute of it. \u2018Girl With A Gretsch\u2019 adds a touch of Mr Cash via Bill Mann\u2019s bass.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The Madness Of Suzuki Seijun\u2019, with accompanying video, gives a taste of their style. \u2018Probably North Street\u2019 features harmonica from another UVM buddy, Long John, and keeps it\u2019s cool while name checking Milton Keynes. \u2018TV Times\u2019 slows things marginally, and Adrian shows us his best Cliff Gallup licks. \u2018Any Dope Can Pull A Gun\u2019, previously a live favourite by The Silver Brazilians, with added keyboards by producer Nick Mailing, is an absolute belter. \u2018Crack, Baby\u2019 is another familiar song from the many times I\u2019ve seen the band. And, their take on The Urban Voodoo Machine\u2019s \u2018Cheers For The Tears\u2019 is furious. Put simply, if you love Sun Records, Gene Vincent, The Stray Cats, Gretsch guitars, Johnny Cash, you need to listen to this album.
