Twin Fire single review

 In March this year, I attended the brilliant “Smoke on Trent” festival in Newcastle-under-Lyme.

While there, I enjoyed many bands I was familiar with, also discovered a few new gems.

One of these new to me bands, that took the stage by storm, was “Twin Fire”. A rock band from Newcastle upon Tyne ( or the real Newcastle, as they explained from the stage) .

This five-piece impressed that day, and they have a new single named “Never Ask Again”.

When pressing play on this song, you are greeted with a nice crunchy rock n’ roll guitar riff before the distorted vocals of the very much larger than life front man begin. Once we move over to the clear vocals, the talents of the vocalist  Dan, shine. The catchy tune continues in an addictive manner. The band as a whole have a swagger that comes across in this tune, while their live performances display a good deal of entertainment and stage craft.

A calmer bridge section displays a variety in song writing until the main riff and drum beat once again reprise, providing a solid rock n’ roll bed for the vocals to fly upon. A surprising death metal growl tops off this enjoyable track, leaving the listener craving more.

The guitar talents of both axemen shine out on the live performance I caught, something not focused on in this tune. I am sure the upcoming album will deliver on that, though.

In addition to the musical talents of these guys, they turn out to be good lads also. Something you may experience yourselves in an upcoming episode of The Miserable Metal Mind Podcast.
