Nottingham-based alt-rock/punk band, TwinHead has made a striking return with their second single, “Thunderous Applause,” released on April 18, 2025. Following their debut track “Pistol,” the band continues to showcase their energetic sound and commitment to the indie/punk genre with this new track.

The song opens with a gritty guitar riff that sets an urgent tone, quickly joined by a driving rhythm section that propels the track forward. The incredible and raw vocals deliver an emotive performance, capturing a sense of defiance and brooding; this fusion of styles creates a sound that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly modern all at once. As their second official release, the track showcases a confident blend of punk energy, grunge textures, and psychedelic undertones which is perfectly mixed- bringing a slight sense of IDLES-crossed-with-The-Strokes energy to their music.

If you enjoy alt-rock/punk bands such as Fontaines D.C, Queens of the Stone Age, or other 90s alt/punk bands, then you’ll enjoy TwinHead’s music: They’re truly a great addition to the contemporary indie/alt-rock/punk music scene!

The accompanying music video, released two weeks after the single, complements the song’s intensity with a number of entertaining behind the scenes videos taken during recording sessions. The band’s presence is palpable, and the video’s aesthetic choices enhance the song’s themes without overshadowing the music itself.

Although this version of the band haven’t been around long, their audiences love their music; and having followed them all from their previous bands, LNC and Those Howlin’ Sounds, despite some awful luck in the industry: they’re adored when playing live and when interacting with fans, making them all the more popular; Their active presence on platforms like TikTok and Bandcamp indicates a growing engagement with their audiences. Their music, characterised by raw energy and a blend of indie and punk influences, is gaining traction among fans of the genre on and offline.
