PREMIERE: Hear Twerps’ contribution to Chapter Music’s 20 Big Ones

8 November 2012 | 11:59 am | Dan Condon

A demo version of Who Are You? will appear on the release, but we have it for you right now.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of much-loved Melbourne label Chapter Music, a brand new compilation featuring 20 tracks from some of the label's most important bands is to be released and sold at the two anniversary shows that happen in Sydney and Melbourne later this month.

Today we are lucky enough to premiere an unreleased track from Melbourne's Twerps, who made serious waves across the country – and continue to do so all over the planet – with their killer eponymous record of last year. The song is a stripped back, but utterly beautiful rendition of their song Who Are You? from that aforementioned album.

The full track list looks like this:
