TWIN:
After much touring, songwriting, show playing, art making, name changing and gear buying, Olympia mega duo TWIN (formerly known as The King Cobra) have cut themselves loose. Their gallant, structurally severe punk-prog compositions defy classification: descriptions range from "conquer rock" to sludge to art rock to stoner-math-post-metal--but really it’s beyond all that. Ray and Ghost have been holed up in the basement all winter, and this is their most epic stuff yet... TWIN is Ray and Ghost...

Mikaela's Fiend:
Family ties? Mikaela's Fiend is a pair of cousins from Seattle that aren't afraid to put down the heavy sounds. Born from twin mothers, these two must’ve had their DNA encoded to bring out the rock simultaneously in their adolescent years. Chris Ando and Donnie Shoemaker (18 and 16 years of age respectively) are two of Seattle's finest up and coming noise merchants. Ando uses an assortment of pedals on his guitar to achieve a sonic massacre that's comparable to the summoning of a legion of minions from deep within the molten core of earth. During their live shows, Ando runs tape loops, some of which will include musical trivia. Shoemaker is the younger of the two, he possesses a metronome control and power which excels drummers 10 years his senior. While delivering the punishment to the drums, he maintains a steady intake of Dr. Pepper and a constant ear to ear grin. The sounds of Mikaela’s Fiend are raw, fierce, and punishing, all without sounding like a metal band. These two are youth fueled, and aren't afraid to up the ante.
