"North Twin's music is real to me. I can feel their honesty and commitment. It will serve them well in the future."
-Mike McCready, Pearl Jam
North Twin's debut album "Falling Apart" is a rock album at its core, but it never forgets its roots. North Twin has lived in songwriter Tony Fulgham's head since he was a kid in Texas, absorbing his dad's Willie, Emmylou, and Eagles records. This abstraction of a band traveled with him to Seattle, L.A., and back again to Seattle where it finally graduated from cerebral to corporeal. Tony first met bassist Rebecca Young (Long River Train, Ian Moore), veteran of the New York and Seattle music scenes, and together they recruited lead guitarist Tim DiJulio (Lazy Susan, Flight to Mars [with Pearl Jam's Mike McCready]), and drummer Rick Cranford (Radio Nationals, Johnny Hickman [of Cracker]). In just its first year, North Twin supported such bands as Son Volt, The Bottle Rockets and The Drams, and garnered frequent air play on Seattle's influential KEXP, creating an early buzz. North Twin is just enough truth hidden in a pack of dirty, rotten lies to make you feel like you've been someplace.

On their debut disc, Seattle's North Twin melds classic and southern rock with roots and country influences along the lines of Go To Blazes or Blue Mountain. Lead Singer and songwriter Tony Fulgham has a big, soaring voice that can go rough or sweet and sounds just right over North Twin's righteous jagged crunch. Fulgham writes hook-laden, commercially appealing songs that burst with detail, heart and energy; Falling Apart overflows with eleven excellent examples.

The members of North Twin are old hands in the music business. Young was in New York country band Long River Train; DiJulio played with Lazy Susan and Kim Virant; Cranford drummed for Radio Nationals. But "Falling Apart" captures the ebullient energy of a teenage garage band. Fulgham grits his teeth and growls out dusty tales of love and life. Hints of twang and rolling bass lines keep the songs rooted in the country-rock traditions of Gram Parsons, while DiJulio's blistering guitars drive them toward the anthemic Southern rock of Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Fused from the remains of the late Lazy Susan and the Radio Nationals, North Twin combines rock-and-roll riffs with soulful vocals, producing a '90's throwback in this successful debut. "Falling Apart" essetntially collects 11 stories told through Tony Fulgham's scraping vocals and bluesy lyrics (I'm falling apart/I got a jigsaw puzzle for a heart/Oh, how'd this even start?"), told with enough simplicity and easy melody to make for a welcome listen for rockers and alt-country fans alike.
