"An engaging journey into the heart of garage-punk darkness"

"This two-man sonic assault takes aim at sensory overload, combining influences like the Jesus and Mary Chain, New York No Wave and, yes, the Gun Club, for an all-out blast of rock fury." Joe Belock -WFMU

Taking garage punk down some of its shadier alleyways, the Brooklyn-based duo Twin Guns has cornered a specific niche within New York City's underground music scene. It makes sense when you discover that "Jungle" Jim Chandler, one half of Twin Guns, once toured Europe with The Cramps, as his new band emulates much of the scuzz-rock riffing and slightly sinister vibes of the punk legends. Twin Guns' shows have developed a reputation around Brooklyn for their impromptu rowdiness and sheer volume. (cityseekr.com)

“A Phil Spector-meets-Nick Cave-style of rock n’ roll. Recorded live over a nine-hour stretch in an abandoned church, the band’s recent release, Scene Of The Crime, is 34 minutes of no-frills, straight up rock ’n’ roll sucker punch... with grimy gems like “The End Of The Ride” and psychedelic, reverb-soaked jams like “Druggy And Suicidal” Onion A.V. Club

Twin Guns flail with a furious, drug-addled post core drenched in reverb, and make a rock noise that recalls Spacemen 3, Alien Sex Fiend and BRMC and a few more like them. Sure to leave you massaging your ears, grinning, possibly sleep-drinking (or feeling like you have been). Denver Thread

“Despite being just a duo, Twin Guns has the power and chops to really bring it. Drenched in reverb, distortion and an overdose of atmosphere, Twin Guns combines parts Jesus & Mary Chain, the Count Five/Seeds vibe, and the New York “No Wave” scene into its own dark stew” The Fold

“One of Brooklyn’s newest and hottest acts, TWIN GUNS combines equal parts tight black leather jumpsuits, massive electrical guitar and acoustic percussive force! Expect minimalist blues reminiscent of Suicide, Jesus and Mary Chain, early Spacemen 3. If the term “Wall of Sound” hadn’t yet been invented by Phil Spector, it would have to be invented for TWIN GUNS!” Ian Sorceress

“In the early summer of 2011, the band released its debut album, Scene of the Crime. From the title track’s urban swampiness to the psych-rock of “Maybe Tomorrow” and the echo-drenched mood swings of “Druggy and Suicidal,” the band’s bracing originals take listeners on an entirely engaging journey into the heart of garage-punk darkness. You can also check out their artfully cool video for “End of the Ride,” a song that evokes the best qualities of all-too-underrated bands like the Unknowns and Panther Burns. Scene of the Crime closes with an unlikely cover of “She Cried,” which was originally recorded by early ‘60s star Del Shannon and then given the “Wall of Sound” treatment by the Phil Spector-produced Shangri-Las. Twin Guns’ amps may not go up to 11, but the duo definitely knows how to sound larger-than-life.” The Independent

“When TWIN GUNS took the stage they were dressed from head to toe in black leather with neck chains and gambler hats. These guys had badass motor fuckin style! They turned all the lights down, kicked on the strobe light and there may or may not have been a fog machine but it felt like it anyways. The vibe was enough to make me go outside and drag my friends in to see these guys jamming out like a greaser in a batcave. But it wasn’t all space echo, smoke and mirrors, I could tell the songs were there too. ” Kelle Calco, promoter “The sound of Link Wray trapped in Bauhaus’ basement” Charles Gaskins, Killer Diller Records

FACTORY PARTY - A TRIBUTE TO THE VELVET UNDERGROUND: "The DIY venue, Party XPO, still carries the eyeball scarring party store sign on the marquee, making it was easy to find amid the dark underbelly of the J train. Last night's organizers pulled out all the stops for a recreation of Warhol's Factory- the walls painted silver and black, giant mylar balloons flying overhead, seats for Beautiful People to lounge, a couple of sequined go-go girls, jerky in that 60's way. A giant, mad fish with glowing eye stared unblinking at us behind a staging area for the bands, who were all playing the Velvet Underground. The guests crowded in and completed the scene- the room was filled with bouffants and beatniks, metallic frocks and much eyeliner. The Factory house band was played by Twin Guns, Madame Robot and the Lust Brigade, LoveStruck and Daddy Longlegs. The highlight for us was Twin Guns, we can't get enough of their 'verb drenched guitar. The Guns struck the perfect pose, deadpan and dark as the Underground in their sunglasses and leather. They played some of our favorites, All Tomorrow's Parties and Here She Comes Now, with their trademark bad-assedness." http://pearldive.blogspot.com/

"The music played especially added to the theme of the party. Twin Guns opened with tributes to the Velvet Underground. They played their music with such enthusiasm and the crowd responded with the same excitement that you really felt like you were transported back in time..."
