Halted in 2020 by a bad case of covid interruptus Tweed’s projects were put on hold. But they are now back on track, and ready to release their next EP Overcome in July.

Their first single off the EP, Heron, comes out on the 28th of May. The song was written as a reflection of the feeling of autumn giving way to winter, and of good spirits falling into a dark place.

Tweed formed early in 2012, after two of its members returned from a year of overseas van-dwelling with a collection of homemade songs. In 2013, they released their debut EP Buzzwords, and this was followed up with their debut album High Brow Blues in 2017. High Brow Blues was received with critical acclaim and took Tweed on tour performing around the North Island, the Auckland, Canterbury, and Whare Flat (Dunedin) Folk Festival, RNZ afternoons and at the 13th Floor.

Since its inception, Tweed has honed a distinctive style of catchy melodies, poly-rhythms, and tight-knit, complex vocal harmonies. Tweed’s music has a harmony-rich vintage sound reminiscent of Crosby, Stills & Nash, and Joni Mitchell, and cites the Punch Brothers, Joan Armatrading, and Ani diFranco as main influences. Tweed plays widely in folk clubs and music venues around Auckland, teaches a range of interactive workshops, and has carved a niche within the city's burgeoning youth folk scene.
