TWRP PAY TRIBUTE TO MOMS EVERYWHERE
WITH THE RELEASE OF THE “ONLY THE BEST” SINGLE
+ ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM OVER THE TOP
OUT SEPTEMBER 25
“The track pays tribute to the women of the world who have given life to us all and expresses deep gratitude for the patience, love, and support they offer their children, no matter how young or old they may be. It also reminds those who hear it that such love and patience is what helps make the world a positive and happy place and that society as a whole would greatly benefit from us all listening to our mothers, and following in their footsteps – at least in terms of their showing others kindness – a little more.” - Pop Wrapped
LISTEN TO “ONLY THE BEST”: HERE
Canada’s TWRP, who personifies the sound of the future imagined in the 80s, is excited to share their latest single “Only the Best” from their forthcoming album Over the Top, out September 25th. “Only the Best” is a thank you letter addressed not only to TWRP’s moms, but to all the moms of the world - for their patience, love, and support. Featuring sparkly synthesizers, blazing guitar solos, and some very lighthearted talkbox vocals, TWRP fits their familiar optimism into a punchy little new-wave song, reminding us all that we should probably call home more often.
Consisting of members Doctor Sung (keys & vocals), Lord Phobos (guitar), Commander Meouch (bass), and Havve Hogan (drums), TWRP’s on-stage personas are matched evenly by their outrageous appearance - as they don colourful costumes straight out of a comic book from the 1980s. The dynamic between these four characters (and best friends), combined with the optimism of their music, has taken TWRP from humble beginnings on Canada’s east coast, to gaining a devoted and sizable international cult following over the past 13 years.
In recent years TWRP has experienced a golden era, growing rapidly from ongoing work with collaborators such as Colonel Chris Hadfield and Andrew Huang, as well as from major commercial successes as the band behind Billboard-topping comedy music stars Ninja Sex Party and Starbomb. With the power of an internet-gained fandom at their backs, TWRP has toured the US and Canada extensively for years, performed on Late Night with Conan O’Brien in 2018, and in 2019 broadened their reach internationally with tours in the UK, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.
TWRP’s new album, Over The Top, is just that - another entry in their discography that delivers an exaggerated rendering of their wide-ranging influences, while not taking itself too seriously. Rich vintage synthesizers, shred guitar, and driving disco rhythms all find their place in the music - and despite an air of levity in its delivery, real themes of change, perseverance, and gratitude permeate the album. With an attitude of playfulness and honesty in the music, Over The Top seems to say that now more than ever it’s important to find the humor and enjoyment through life’s challenges.
KEEP UP WITH TWRP
