Do it man! I know what you mean about finding people. I've been twinkling on my own for a long time now, but have never come across anyone else who'd want to jam/start a band..

I got luck that my best friend happened to be a drummer and he happened to develop similar music taste to me, so I got lucky, but that's why Echo Base is just a two piece lol. So hard to find people that would want to play permanently.

I've been digging Grow Up, Dude by You Blew It recently. Any recs for bands that sound like them? Or just some Twinkle bands I anyone thinks I need to check out.

You're about to get inundated with recs, haha. And I could drown you too, but firstly I'd listen to Dikembe if you like YBI! (admittedly I still have to check out their latest release that just came out!)...and also, obviously, Wavelets; also along those lines.

Fine with me. Bring on the recs! I'm new to this genre but from what I know, YBI is a good representation of it, and I love them now, so I want more.

And would Brighter Arrows be considered twinkley?

[mps]

I kind of on purposely missed out Dowsing (though defo worth listening to), or anything I didn't think was that twinkly...

Brighter Arrows are AMAZING, but I'd lump them more into a post-rock-hardcorey-esque type genre along with the likes of CSTVT, My Heart To Joy.. TWIABP probs are more post-rock style than straight up twinkle..I dunno, it's all blurry haha

[wall e]

Right. The only reason I put Brighter Arrows is because I saw them mentioned in this thread before. I wouldn't personally call them twinkley either. But yeah, this guy should definitely listen to them regardless haha.
