Our story

When it comes to playing a tune, sometimes original is not always best.

When Leonard Cohen wrote and recorded Hallelujah, we all knew it was a brilliant song. It just needed someone with a better voice to turn it into something magical. Jeff Buckley delivered the goods. He twisted it to make it his own.

The same goes for Sinead O Connor’s take on Prince’s Nothing compares 2U. The Who’s high energy rock version of jazz pianist Mose Allison’s Young Man Blues. Bryan Ferry’s emotionally supercharged re-recording of John Lennon’s Jealous Guy. Manfred Man’s glorious retelling of Springsteen’s Blinded by the Light. Natalie Imbruglia's smash hit, Torn. Nirvana’s magical unplugged version of Bowie’s The man who sold the world.

All of them covers, all of them better than the original recording.

The Twisted covers are a four-piece band that celebrate these stunning musical transformations. They take pop and rock classics and inject them with a fresh spark to make you fall in love with them all over again. In short, they give over played bangers their mojo back. See them live and from the very first chord, these boys will make you want to hit the floor and party like it’s 1999.

‘I said I would never tap my foot to T Rex again, I was wrong.’

‘The art of the cover taken to new heights, see them.’

‘Utterly joyous. Utterly brilliant.’
