That being said, twee bands often are formed in middle income college towns where young people with indie sensibilities can congregate. Think Athens GA, Eugene OR, Olympia WA etc.

- Los Campesinos: Romance is Boring. Cardiff’s Los Campesinos always had a flair for the dramatic. The band’s early recordings were jam-packed with heart-on-the-sleeve missives; dense, wiseass verbiage and plenty of instrumentation; the band frequently toured with six or seven members.
- The Field Mice: Snowball. The closest twee pop ever had to a Death Row was a tiny independent label located in Bristol named Sarah Records. This DIY label single-handedly defined post-C86 indie pop in the ’80s, releasing records by bands such as Heavenly, Another Sunny Day and the Orchids.
- Go Sailor: Go Sailor. Rose Melberg first became prominent with her band Tiger Trap, an influential American twee pop group albeit a short-lived one. Go Sailor found Melberg teaming up with Paul Curran and Amy Linton — who notably played in Henry’s Dress and the Aislers Set, two bands very much indebted to the C86 aesthetic — to make music a lot lighter and lowkey, sacrificing punk distortion but retaining Melberg’s ability for crafting great hooks and sweet melodies.
- Black Tambourine: Black Tambourine. Black Tambourine were hardly an active band. Formed in Washington, D.C., as a side project containing future members of Velocity Girl and Whorl, the band was only around for two years.
- Beat Happening, “Beat Happening” It's impossible to discuss the history of twee pop without mentioning Beat Happening, the Olympia, Washington-based trio fronted by K Records founder Calvin Johnson.
- Talulah Gosh, “Backwash” While they never put out a proper full-length album during their two years together, English band Talulah Gosh were still able to establish a cult following that helped kick off the twee movement in the late '80s.
- Heavenly, “Heavenly vs. Satan” While K Records came to define the indie pop movement in the Pacific Northwest, the short-lived Bristol label Sarah Records was promoting the subgenre across the globe.
- Black Tambourine, “Black Tambourine” Another record label that was crucial to the early days of twee pop and indie rock was the Washington, D.C.- based Slumberland Records, whose co-founder Mile Schulman performed in Black Tambourine.
The Girls! are a 6-piece power pop band band based in Columbus Ohio, formed by kids who grew up picking lice out of each other's hair in smelly punk bars. We mostly met playing the Washington Beach circuit, in sister bands Carson Drew, Joey Blackheart and the Gallows, and The Reacharounds.
