In Episode #204 of The XS Noize Podcast, host Mark Millar chats with Phil Etheridge from The Twang to celebrate the 15th anniversary of their second album, Jewellery Quarter.
Originally released in 2009, Jewellery Quarter debuted at No. 20 on the UK charts and featured standout singles like Barney Rubble and Encouraging Sign. The album also delivered fan favourites such as Took the Fun and Back Where We Started, earning its status as a modern classic. This December, The Twang will release a special edition of the album—re-recorded, remastered, and available on vinyl for the first time ever.
In this episode, Phil reflects on the album’s creation, sharing insights into the writing and recording process, the excitement of the new vinyl release, new music and the band’s upcoming live shows. Listen to episode #204 of The XS Noize Podcast with Phil Etheridge – BELOW:
