Twin Berlin - Drowner
“Drowner,” the new album from Twin Berlin, is an aggressive and honest 10-song collection with extremely apparent classic influences. By “classic influences,” I basically just mean Nirvana. Cobain’s growl has a new channel in Matt Lopez’s dirty and emotional vocals, and his skill at basic pop songwriting, hidden under heaps of overdrive and attitude, is equally evident in Twin Berlin’s songs.

Artist Spotlight: Twin Berlin
Artist Spotlight is back with a feature on Connecticut garage punkers Twin Berlin. The band consists of Matt Lopez on vocals and guitar, James Janocha on drums, and Sean O'Neil on bass. The band has a sloppy, grimy, down and dirty blend of rock that echoes the sounds of The Strokes, Ramones, and Nirvana all rolled into one with an unadulterated, take charge musical philosophy that has them blasting all of their musical energy on stage like nobody's business. I had the honor a
