Twisted Love

The band’s 10th studio album marks a return to a time when the Quireboys rocked – and rocked hard. “There are no ballads this time,” confessed frontmanSpike. “I approached the songwriting from a different angle and it felt good. There’s a lot of passion there.” A bullish reworking of crowd favourite Gracie Breinforces the point. Title track Twisted Love sees Griffin,Guerin and Spike join forces to deliver one of the darkest Quireboys anthems to date. Ghost Traintakes the listener on a bluesy, Hammond-soundtracked journey to the band’s classic era while the rock and soul of slow-brooding set closer Midnight Collectiveis simply sublime. “We locked ourselves away again and worked our arses off,” said Guerin. “We perform well under pressure. And I have to give immensecredit to Spike – the lyrics on Twisted Love are some of his best ever.” Enjoying a richly deserved renaissance, The Quireboys continue to tour extensively andwrite records that will stand the test of time.
