Twerps Ep

Twerps started out with a 'the' sometime in 2008, playing their rst gig at a warehouse party
above a chemist in the Melbourne suburb of East Brunswick. Their ambitions were humble, their
musicianship was rudimentary, but their songs were touching, cheeky and instantly captivating.
At first it was guitarist/vocalist Martin Frawley, guitarist Julia McFarlane, bassist Rick Milovanovic
and drummer Patrick O'Neill. From some lo-fi home recordings on Myspace, the band were
approached by US label Night People to do a cassette. Guy & Ben from Chapter Music were at
their first gig and also asked to release something, but after a while Twerps thought they'd changed
their mind. Turns out Twerps had forgotten to actually send them the recordings!
Recorded by Mikey Young, the 9 song self-titled EP eventually came out on Night People and
Chapter in 2009. Chapter's version took the odd form of a four song 7', accompanied by a CD
with the full nine songs on it. Everyone loved it.
From that simple starting point, Twerps have become one of Australia and the world's favourite
guitar pop bands. Their two much-loved albums Twerps (2011) and Range Anxiety (2015) were
released by Chapter Music, the First as a co-release with US label Underwater Peoples and the
second released outside Australia/New Zealand by Merge Records.
