"Push That Twang Into Motion" is the fourth Pushtwangers album, recorded in 1991 on NMW like the last Sinners & Wilmer X albums. Guitarist M. Lundborg has left the band. This album is a little overproduced with a lot of keyboards... not bad but certainly not my cup of tea!!! Then the Pushtwangers disbanded...
"After a break and rehab after years of touring, one of Swedens most legendary garagerock acts has finally returned to the musicscene. With the originally ambition to be the missing link between Sex Pistols and Beach Boys , Pushtwangers started out in the early eighties together with Swedish acts like The Nomads and The Creeps. Their powerpop-influenced 60-ies garagerock was spread through 4 albums with international record-deals and tours in a selfburning tempo through the years 1984 to1991. This new start is done with an almost intact line-up, Nome: guitar/vocals, P. Liljander organ, G. A. Krantz guitar and E. Forslin on drums, the bassplayer Zeke and guitarist Mike has been replaced with M. Ronnerstam bass (ex. Japop and Prins Valiant). The new album contains mostly new recordings of their hitsongs that are no longer available, but there is also a bunch of new songs thrown into the mix." Source
You can buy this album titled "We Are The Pushtwangers And You´re Not" HERE !
It was in 2005... I 'm not sure that the 'twangers are always involved in the musicscene today...

Bad Bad Girls / Naked In My Car / Lies / I Will Make You Run / Boyfriend / Leave Her To Heaven / Cruisin' / I Was Sad / My Father's Name Is Dad / Strangler From Behind / "Coma" / Mr Black / The Chinese Soy Conspiracy.
Produced by E. Nathorst-Böös.
Pushtwangers: E. Forslin: drums / G-A Krantz: guitar / P. Liljander: piano / M. Lundborg: guitar / Nome: singer / Z. Saell: bass.
Here's the first Pushtwangers (mini) lp ! Recorded in 1984 on Blackboard & Chalk in Sweden and Closer Records in France.The Pushtwangers belong to the sweden 80's wave of rock garage in the same spirit than the Nomads, Hidden Charms, Bangsters, Creeps, Slammers or the Shoutless for the first two albums. Their third lp was a little different with more melodies and a powerpop side.
"Except for an awkward pronunciation here and there, it's impossible to tell that the garage this clean-sounding sextet rocked out of is in Sweden. Although the Pushtwangers use enough horns and strings on their energetic second album to do some serious commercial damage in spots, the group's roots are strictly '60s and '70s punk, something which sneery singer Nome and guitarists G-A. Krantz and M. Lundborg never forget. The contrasting blend of slick production, tight playing and raunchy instincts doesn't go for max stylee, but the effect is nifty nonetheless. (As is the racy front cover: the American edition has a peel-off day-glo sticker to satisfy the curious, while the Swedish original prudishly surprints an opaque black dress.)" Trouser Press.
