In April 2007, the band received their first "NME" cover and two months later were the subject of a BBC Radio 1 documentary. The band were hailed by the "NME" as "Britain's Best New Band" and won the Phillip Hall Radar Award at the 2007 NME Awards. They were invited to join James on their UK tour in the same month, which saw them play at the 21,000 capacity Manchester Evening News Arena. The Twang toured the UK again in May 2007 starting on 8 May in Cardiff and finishing on 31 May in London.
