I know about one other person in this city who can stand music with twang, so I know where you're coming from.  But why do you loathe Beachwood Sparks and want to check out the Thrills?  I know the Thrills are all about 19 or whatever, but now that I'm thinking about it they sound a LOT like Beachwood Sparks. To be fair, I may be jaded because I only mildly enjoyed the Thrills show at Iota a couple of months ago.

I'm not sure how much twang you're talking about, but I LOVE jangle.  Does that get me close?

Sorry, if I was a bit condescending. I re-read the thread, and thought, "who is trying to be an asshole?" "Oh its me!"
 
 I dont hear any twang in the thrills. I dont think their album is the best thing ever, but its some mediocre British pop. Just my thing, to be honest. And it is their first album, as such i think it is actually quite accomplished.
 
 I found the beachwood sparks quite tough going. Perhaps I got the wrong album, but I just dont think they are for me.
 
 If you like the tyde, you will most likey enjoy Felt. Do you have any?
 
 
 Jangle makes me think of shoegazers amd pop, twang makes me think of Dolly Parton and Country.

No dice!

Skonsters reply was not at all what I was expecting. I thought he would go on about how if you like one act you have to like both. So his candid confession took me completely off-guard.
