TWISTED CHARM INTERVIEW

• 23rd Jul 2007

Finsbury Park's finest Twisted Charm release their eagerly anticipated debut album 'Real Fictional' through up and coming label Because Music on August 6th. Their mix of electronic synth, sax, unrelenting bass, and witty, punchy lyrics of undercover, inner city London have sent this foursome's star soaring.

They've left their small town roots – Northampton – behind and have come 'to kick regurgitated rock-n-roll in the throat.' The debut, produced by Lance Thomas (PJ Harvey/Ladytron), is as current as it gets and they have absorbed grime and new rave to produce something unique. It's no surprise they have just toured with the Klaxons.

Nathan 'Doom' Cole is everything a front man should be. He's got the style, the skinny and the stories to start a party even while reciting tales of disillusionment and detachment. The band have generated a loyal following but their addictive post punk electro should send these lads towards bigger things.

Here's a few words from the Twisted Charm chaps. Get to know them and let them take over your brain.

1. WHO would you most like to take down with your sniper rifle?

The Turkish guy who stole my mobile phone in Finsbury park last Sunday! I lose countless phones when I'm drunk but that's my fault. i cannot accept having my phone pinched after having it for only four weeks. so many song ideas stored on the Dictaphone, so many numbers i cannot retrieve, so many mafia fantasies about shooting the guy.

2. WHERE is the place to be?

In the studio making music! in the pub during happy hour! in bed with a
beautiful girl!

3. WHAT Twisted Charm rock n roll stories can you share?

what happens on tour stays on tour. but one new years eve i mistook my x-girlfriend's Christmas tree for a toilet. i woke up on the couch, got up, knocked it over and then proceeded to wee all over it. this woke her mum up who then decided to take me to the bathroom for a strip wash. i wouldn't have stayed for Sunday dinner the following day if i had remembered any of it!

4. WHEN NME ask you to do a cover shot, you'll say?

yes of course! anyone who is passionate about their music would say the same. the magazine might talk a load of rubbish, but as a songwriter you want your music to be heard by as many people as possible.

5. WHY make music when you could be doing?

I'm afraid life without making music is meaningless. although playing for arsenal could give it some meaning.
