Twist Helix

About

Born out of the hip bars and rundown rehearsal rooms of Newcastle’s Ouseburn Valley, synth-pop band Twist Helix are fascinated with the exploration of place and its relation to creativity and identity.

Drawing influence from their immediate surroundings the band have worked hard to create an effervescent and joyous sound, evocative of the diverse energy and character of their home with their new single “Ouseburn”, a sparkling work of indie-electronica reminiscent of groups like MGMT and M83.

the groups intelligent, narrative driven synth-pop and relentless DIY work ethic has seen the band attract media attention in around the world, being covered everywhere from Houston, Texas to Helsinki, Finland. As well as, somehow working their way onto TV in the Ukraine and being named favourites of Playstation Spain. In 2017, they embarked on tours of the UK and Spain and have appeared as local support to established stars of alternative electronica such as Avec Sans, Samaris, Soccer96 and Kate Jackson & the Wrong Moves,

At the close of 2017 the group signed for the Madrid based record label Paul Back Music and announced in January 2018 they would start their new year with a full UK tour to promote their sparkling, alternative, dance-floor anthem “Ouseburn”.
