Member Since: 21/11/2006
Band Website: www.thetweeks.co.nz
Band Members: Anthony Lander, Chris Keogh, Logan Valentine, Stu Harwood

Sounds Like: "A classy and impressive independent local release,
with charming artwork to match...
Recommended." - SmokeCDs.com

"The foursome have seemingly taken the classic
sound of 60s guitar bands like The Byrds, mixed
it with Britpop, to create something refreshingly
Kiwi. The Tweeks create musical surprises by
changing the atmosphere of songs at the drop of
a semi-quaver..." 4 stars - The Dominion Post

"This album is great, it has good guitar hooks,
solid drumming, and is generally full of catchy,
well-formed pop songs." - Tom Baragwanath,
Salient Magazine

"Instant comparisons with the glory days of the
Dunedin Sound abound[.]" - Otago Daily Times

"THE TWEEKS... have a sparkling debut with the
catchy hook-laden, rockin' guitar indie pop
album 'You Can Listen Too' - no need to ask!"
- Liz Barry, NZ Music Show.

"Their songs are catchy pop tunes with
slightly twee lyrics about ordinary everyday life
that effortlessly move from moody ballads
through to indie jangle and fuzzed out guitar
romps. It's an extension of their earlier work
but with more variety and a willingness to
explore - and that makes this album all
the better." - NZ Musician

Record Label: Borderline
Type of Label: Indie
