Twerps Tracking 2012s Best Songs #19

Twerps – “He’s In Stock” (5 of 5)

“He’s In Stock” breezes along casually with an old-school swagger for an extremely quick two minutes and 24 seconds, ending before you know what hit you. With guitars strumming calmly in the background, lead singer Marty Frawley sings like a true “twerp” – he’s got a natural, charismatic punk-rock attitude. The vocals aren’t so much angry as they are aggressive; oozing with confidence. As a result, the track strikes a perfect balance between new-wave chill college rock (Real Estate) and vintage ‘70s underground punk (The Clash). So while it’s undeniably a light, easygoing summer song, the tone is moody enough to keep “He’s In Stock” on your radar through the fall and winter. –– Adam Offitzer
