Our new album ‘Kind of Acoustic’ is available to stream on all platforms! 🎉
In an elbows-out insta-filtered industry, we’ve stayed true to honesty, openness, kindness and collaboration - and it’s paid off. From huge festivals to DIY punk shows, and now this: two unforgettable days, from London’s only Elizabethan church to street busking to a packed-out Garage last Sunday.

Just under two weeks until we hit The Garage in London for the biggest headline show of our lives.

We’ve written our favourite ever set including some songs we haven’t played for a very long time.

Any guesses what’s on there?

We had such a great time last night judging the @twm_colchester @twmlive Battle of the Bands!

We're massively proud to be from Colchester. There was so much talent on that stage!

We're collaborating with Clacton and Jaywick activists Clacton Arts Centre to put on a full band LOVE MUSIC HATE RACISM show!

The aim of Clacton Arts Centre is to raise the cultural profile of the town above Nigel Farage. We're massively proud to be backing this.

Want to know what it feels like to be at a Kind of Acoustic show?

Charlie Brown captured it perfectly in this interview and live performance 💪

The Last Kind of Acoustic shows 🤘

This is the final run of our Kind of Acoustic tour. Four small, intimate gigs, including our rescheduled Edinburgh date.

These will be our final shows before The Fractured Party 👀 and the final chance to see these tunes in their full band raw form.

It's been a while since our acoustic album dropped.

Jules put together a Spotify playlist A/Bing all the tracks next to the originals.

Please spend time with it and tell him it was a great idea in the comments to tickle his self-esteem.

🚨 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! 🚨

The one and only DJ PressPlay is joining us at The Fractured Party IV at The Garage, London, on May 4th! 🎉

Colchester legend and momentary internet sensation (yes, that viral DJ with the infamous request sign!) will be bringing the energy before and between every set🔥

The child in the photo wouldn't have been able to afford to tour. Most of us spend our teens and twenties living month to month, heart achingly slowly trying to build reserves to pay off credit card bills and put away money for a mortgage, whilst paying rent way more than what a mortgage would cost.

The future of live music depends on this one thing...

✅ Best case: You buy early → promoters gain confidence → are able to pay off the rising cost and offer bigger guarantees for bands → the shows are packed and fun.

❌ Worst case: You wait → tickets don’t sell → shows get cancelled.

Momentarily returning from hibernation

As a Midlands punk, @rebellionfestival was always the gig we were looking towards.

Proud to be playing the Empress Ballroom in August!

Happy One Year to Intermittent Fast Living.

This documentary, shot, directed and produced by Ben West documents the recording of the album and celebrates the incredible community who lift this band up.

Cheers! 🍻

Happy one year to Intermittent Fast Living 🤘

Our biggest achievement to date, both creatively and as a bottom-up, collective campaign that placed us firmly where we were never invited.

Fractured Party People: This one's for you ❤️

Maybe it's time to start demoing album four?

It's been one week since our Kind of Acoustic tour ended. Thanks for packing each room out. We should do it again sometime!

Our next full band show is at The Garage in London on Bank Holiday Sunday 4th May. Our biggest ever London headliner.

They’ve told us it's on course to sell out 👀

Can't believe we're saying that.

Sonic Boom Six, SHED, Pageant Mum and Generation Feral 🤯🤘
