Today is the day for the second single from the upcoming album by Glasgow’s ferocious Punk Duo The Twistettes. We loved their “Tory C***s” single and I was also blown away by the relentless “Big Boned” single that was actually the first fruit of their upcoming album, “Red Door Open.” I was thrilled to see that Last Night From Glasgow, the Glaswegian label that looms large in my world, has now picked up The Twistettes, so the days of self-released Bandcamp goods are in their rear view mirrors. It’s a next level thing.

Of course, Last Night From Glasgow is of particular interest due to the fact that they seem to be signing up all of my favorite bands who are still active that I’ve loved for ages. [think: Blow Monkeys, Countess Of Fife, Skids, China Crisis, Armory Show, Department S, just off the top of my head]. There’s also the fact that LNFG is a non-profit label and at that point we go from admiration to the throes of love. They are doing holy work and they are on a productive tear that astonishes me on a regular basis.

The Twistettes: All I Want – SCOT – DL [2025]

1. All I Want 2:54

Speaking of astonishment on a regular basis, The Twistettes new single is called “All I Want” and it’s managed to get one foot in the Pop camp with crunchy, distortion driven melodies and yes, the lovely singing voice of Jo D’arc. Nicky drums like a steam hammer and the fuzztone bass keeps things moving fast and hard while Jo adds the hooks. The drum break for a split second in the middle eight was a thing of wonder, but don’t sneeze or you’ll miss it! By the time we get ready for more it’s already out the door and we head for the “replay” button. Their last two singles were deeper in the Riot Grrrl-slash-Mötorhead camp. Bracing stuff, but this new single is much more melodious and highly recommended for anyone who rates The Buzzcocks or Ramones.

The single is out already and you can probably stream is at one of those newfangled “apps” I hear about every now and then. Or if you like to know where your music is at all times, iTunes [and other platforms I suspect] have the good ol’ fashioned download for $0.99. But if you really want to get the material goods, now is a good time to pre-order their upcoming album, “Red Door Open.”

It’s released on May 2nd and it’s got ten tracks, including the “Big Boned” single that is still rocking my world. It’s on red vinyl LP [$34.00] and CD [$17.00] as well as bundles and test pressings, and I’m amazed to see that if I order the CD, the shipping from Scotland to my North Carolina home is a scant $7.45. If I send a CD across any US border it’s time to think about digging at least $20 out of my pocket!! I think we’re being robbed!! So if you want to go the the front of the queue, jump over to Last Night From Glasgow and just get the signed album. We’ll go deeper on that soon, I promise. Until then, DJ hit that button!
