"The sound of disaffected youth from Barnsley" Steve Lamacq (BBC 6Music)
“Sculie” is pretty quick, with an almost staccato feel to it. It’s fun, and definitely a hip shaker to get you moving – day or night – as the days get shorter." Impose
"...full of noise and feedback, yet a beautifully melodic song starts to appear and creep out." Louder Than War
"...fuzzed up, grooving and with a nice thick, grungey guitar sound. "Tori" is the slower, more wobbly of the two and you can hear the influence of The Butthole Surfers with its guitar effects. I also like the unusual intonation on the word "maybe" in the chorus. "Sculie", meanwhile, is a little more energetic and melodic with an upbeat rhythm section and more prominent trading of vocal duties. This works as a great introduction to the band for me and it bodes well for the future as I hear there's an album in the offing." Collective Zine

Hopeful songs in a seemingly hopeless world

.Ever felt truly alone in your personal quest for meaning? Lonesome in a big crowd of cheerful friends? Never truly fitting in the online world of instant gratification and permanent records? Awkward in front of a camera or on a dance floor? Daydreaming in that beautiful world of literature and art? Experiencing strong feelings when listening to music? Feeling truly sorry for the cruelty of the world and looking for ways to make it a bit better?

 If you have answered “yes” to at least some of these – congratulations, you are in the right place.

We believe that any art form can have truly transformative powers and soothe a wounded soul. The world today needs empathy more than ever – and art helps with that. Humankind has suffered enough. The Planet has suffered enough. In the times when we are all connected we somehow feel even more alone. This can change if we embrace our differences and celebrate our kindness, open our hearts to change and fight our fears for the sake of reinventing ourselves.

We play music because we just cannot stop feeling things that need expressing – and making noises through speakers is the only way we’ve learnt. This is how we look for answers to the difficult questions and find some peace in the turbulent times.

Let’s feel things together – and let’s be better together!

We are the Twisted Mixtape! We are a radio show based on community radio station pulse 98.4fm. Our show has recently just been given the privilege of a second hour so the show is now broadcast every Tuesday 8-10pm!  We specialize in Punk,Rock,Metal, rap and also unsigned bands. Due to the volume we have raised in unsigned music this has now been made into an hour long segment which is what we mainly post here to showcase new music and give the bands an opportunity to be heard! We can be listened to online : www.pulseonair.co.uk  and we hope you will listen in to hear our show. Below is our contact details so if you are in a band, please send us your tracks (keep them clean) and band bios and we will have a listen and get them on air.
