Real Fictional LP - Press Release:

Idiosyncratic psycho-pop quartet, Twisted Charm, release their eagerly anticipated debut album 'Real Fictional' through label of the moment Because Music.

Twisted Charm are Nathan Doom (Vox/Guitar/Synth), Dominic Cole (Drums), John Garley (Bass) and Luke Georgiou (Saxophone). Hailing from Northampton, the boys are driven by a collective mission statement: 'to kick regurgitated rock-n-roll in the throat' and their scathingly witty observations of inner city London life cut right through the jugular.

The debut, produced by Lance Thomas (PJ Harvey/Ladytron) draws on aspects of modern living, thrashing out inspiration from the realm of cinema, philosophy and social class and our day-to-day habitual lifestyles. The album is immersed in infectious rhythms, sax blasts, warped bass and new wave inflections – modern day pop with a subversive 'twist'.

Singles include the anthemic 'London Scene', 'Boring Lifestyles' and the hypnotic 'Cinema'. Nathan Doom resumes the guise of cultural commentator, striking a resonance with dark tales of disillusionment and detachment.

Most recently touring with label mates Klaxons and with singles remixed by South Central DJ's, the band have generated a diverse fan base and loyal following amongst the countries coolest kids, their debut album's addictive and insightful pop anthems are set to catapult them out of the ivory tower of in the know music buyers into the realm of the mainstream pop-indie music lovers.
