TWINS | Dream OnAvailable on: CD, Digital, VinylBunk Bed Records, 2020
Rock Roads says, "The songs retain the hooky melodic sense of previous TWINS efforts, and the arrangements are still lush and atmospheric. But the new approach showcases a vulnerability that may have been overshadowed by the bombast of the old TWINS. The result is a delicate and sometimes haunting album that draws the listener closer, like a whisper you have to strain to hear." Read more... |

TWINS | Square AmericaAvailable on: CD, Digital, VinylMaximum Ames Records, 2016
City View says, "TWINS’ 2014 debut 'Tomboys on Parade' had an infectious pop quality, but for 'Square America,' the Waterloo band has moved more toward a ’70s FM rock sound. It suits the quartet, with tracks like 'Hot Stepper' and 'Mary’s Sister Margaret' harkening back to the sound of Big Star and Cheap Trick, distinguishing TWINS from the sound of other Iowa bands. It’s bar band rock but with a lot of drive and soul. 'Tomboys on Parade' was great, but 'Square America' feels like the band has stepped up to a new level." |

TWINS | Tomboys on ParadeAvailable on: CD, Digital, VinylMaximum Ames Records, 2014
Little Village says, "...the results are impressive—sublimely polished nuggets of pop, washed in harmonies and falsettos, packed in backbeat and propelled by galloping guitars and sparkling arpeggios. The album is a damn fine slice of pop pie, and the vinyl version will spend a lot of time on my turntable." Read more... |

Teddy Boys | 3 Stories for You - Soundhole SessionsAvailable on: DigitalIan Williams, Producer, says, "In 2007, the Teddy Boys returned to the Soundhole to record a follow-up to their 'New York City Girls' EP. Seventeen songs were recorded but never completed, and the sessions were sent to the archives. Over a decade later these songs have been mixed and are presented here as completely as possible for a taste of the Teddy Boys album that almost was."
