Biography

Brooklyn's indie/emo sweethearts The Twin have returned with their sophomore effort titled Blue Honey, which is due out later this fall on Mind Over Matter Records. Coasting high after the success of their debut LP Dead Rose as well as some solo acoustic works under the moniker Kai Mark, the band re-emerged with additional ammo in their arsenal.

Adding in Arty Shepherd (Mind Over Matter, errortype:11) to the lineup as a second guitarist while keeping Jeff Gensterblum (Coalesce, Small Brown Bike) as the backbone of the rhythm section and Bryan Louie (Joshua Fit For Battle, Common Sage) as the core architect of the band's sound has given them even more depth and power to their overall sound.

Blue Honey finds the band exploring richer sonic pathways, touching even more into the modern shoegaze sound while still staying true to the blend of indie rock & second wave emo that we heard from them and loved before. The heavy parts are heavier, the hooks are juicer and the songs overall continue to cut to the bone.

The Twin are poised to craft new genre terrority with their unique blend of soaring guitars, slick harmonies and thundering percussion. Somewhere in the midst of all of this is a heart-on-your-sleeve honesty that is rare in today's music scene, so it seems like we have a contender for being the front runners on the next wave of emo.
