Nervous Twitch: The Day Job Gets in the Way

Leeds based rambling New Wave trio Nervous Twitch must have stumbled on a treasure trove of unresistable ramshackle riffs, which allows to release a steady of albums, EPs and singles. Their sixth studio album The Day Job Gets in the Way is filled to the rafters with infectious tunes about dead end jobs, stupid jokes, the rich, their cool mum, evasive significant others, and of course the passive agressive hobby of making your clothes.

Fuzz driven guitar is king, with making a fuzz being a close second. The trio honour the tradition that a punky pop song should be over and done with within three minutes, which will come as a relief for the dancers at their live shows who surely will need a break from jumping and down. Recommended if you like Shonen Knife, X-Ray Spex, and the Kelly Deal 6000.
