Twangmen biography
Formed 2010 in Rankweil, Austria

TWANGMEN is a group of musicians hailing from the Vorarlberg region in Western Austria. They know each other since their youth, whereas some of them have played together in various formations before. The band originally started as a three-piece unit which included Daniel 'Seegi' Seeger (bass), Martin 'Medy' Mayer (guitar) and drummer Flow Frick.

The addition of cello (Fabian J�ger) and keyboards (Gunnar Giesinger) took place right in the middle of the production of their debut 'Triskele And Cascades'. After quite a short time they were surprised how well the new instruments were harmonizing. The album was released at the end of the year 2020, is made of fine elaborated songs. Their music showcases heavy progressive attitude with some psych and post rock flair.

Wow, they are setting off real fireworks here. The TWANGMEN are coming from the Vorarlberg region in Austria. Some of them have played together in various formations before. Hence the involved five musicians are knowing each other quite well. And so it's not surprising actually that the crew's chemistry is rather solid. You can sense it for sure. The album production originally was initiated by a trio around drummer Flow Frick plus Daniel Seeger (bass) and Martin Mayer (guitar). But sometime in between the idea came up to add some keyboards (Gunnar Giesinger), and a cello (Fabian J�ger) to the fold. Good move, I'd say! The musical essence finally is made of an unique heavy prog oriented attitude, garnered with some psych respectively post rock.

Exemplarily seen I do like the charming behaviour of Indian Summer. The compelling Autowahn is consisting of little post rock flair. The extended centerpiece Escape From Island then shows a really tricky flow, very nice and diversified guitar and keyboard, Mellotron and synthesizer input. Particularly the cello is contributing a melancholic flair in between. Wild Animal Ride evolves exactly as the title promises. Available as double vinyl or digital download 'Triskele And Cascades' is offering an inspired music excursion of roundabout 70 minutes playing time. Sophisticated compositions that guarantee great entertainment. A recommended affair. Hopefully the TWANGMEN soon will gain some more interest regarding the worldwide progressive rock community.

Thanks to rivertree for the artist addition.
