Pic: Roz Doherty.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Originally a four-piece, Nervous Twitch have been a trio for the last few years. Their line-up now comprises Erin Hyde (bass and vocals), Jay Churchley (guitar and vocals) and Ashley Goodall (drums and vocals).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their first three albums (2015\u2019s Get Back In Line, 2016\u2019s Don\u2019t Take My TV, and 2017\u2019s I Won\u2019t Hide) were reissued to digital streaming last summer with Reckless Yes, and can be heard on their Bandcamp page <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/nervoustwitch.bandcamp.com\">HERE<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The album was preceded by three singles &#8211;<em> Keeping Faith In Something<\/em>, <em>Tongue Tied<\/em> and <em>Alright Lads<\/em> &#8211; and those tasters were a good idea of what to expect; their familiar melodically catchy \u201860s girl group refrains, fuzzy guitar riffs, with a healthy side of &#8217;90s indie-pop sensibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Nervous Twitch - Keeping Faith in Something\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iyqHX4k5mRc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Opening track <em>Count Your Blessings<\/em>, with its grungy guitar and deadpan vocals, reminds me of early work by &#8217;90s indie outfit The Primitives, and then comes<em> Tongue Tied<\/em>, a heart-on-the-sleeve love song about the awkwardness of being around someone you fancy but being unable to articulate it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Oh So Keen<\/em> has dual-tracked vocals in the style of &#8217;60s girl groups like The Ronettes, while <em>Don&#8217;t Blame Me<\/em>, the shortest track on the album at less than two minutes, is like short-lived &#8217;80s indie sensations Talulah Gosh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The surf guitar is much in evidence on <em>Bag For Life<\/em>, which is by followed <em>Not Everyone&#8217;s Out To Get Me<\/em>, whose chorus of &#8220;I guess I&#8217;m not at my best\/Fuck you I&#8217;m stronger than ever&#8221; makes it one of the standout tracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Nervous Twitch  - Alright Lads (Official Music Video)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cxDn60JqxWo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next we get the lead single, the synth-driven <em>Keeping Faith In Something<\/em>, and it&#8217;s easy to see why it was chosen to trail the album. They&#8217;re cooking with gas now, and <em>Alright Lads<\/em>, the most recent single, is a catchy-as-hell Ramones-like stomper. They never sound more punk than on the <em>The Way That I Feel<\/em>, while the closing <em>Fickle You<\/em> channels Social Distortion&#8217;s Story Of My Life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the course of 12 tracks, the raw garage-punk promise of their early releases is honed into something much tastier. Their sound is familiar, yet like no-one else, and they retain enough of an edge to still appeal. This is a hugely enjoyable album, which improves with every listen. <strong>8\/10.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Nervous Twitch&#8217;s self-titled album is available now on limited edition cream vinyl, CD and digital from Reckless Yes <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/recklessyes.com\/\">HERE<\/a><\/strong> or the band&#8217;s Bandcamp page <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/nervoustwitch.bandcamp.com\/album\/nervous-twitch\">HERE<\/a><\/strong>.
