Mathew Sweet hit the Independent in SF to kick off a tour celebrating the 20th anniversary of his album Girlfriend being released.

lauren everett Summer Twins are not twins, but they are a pair of sisters who make vintage-sounding girl rock, and their ascent along the x-axis of fame could soon be more inspiring to a lot of young people than Al Gore's hockey stick. Backed by Burger Records, their dad, and the big-fish confidence that comes from growing up in Riverside's small pond, these gals are ready to tackle the tough road ahead, even if they do have a thing for balloons, party dresses and cuteness. They play this Friday at Desert Daze with [...]

Walt! Gorecki SUMMER TWINS Summer Twins Burger Records In the tradition of the Thompson Twins, the Cocteau Twins, and actual twins Kim and Kelley Deal come the Summer Twins: Chelsea and Justine Brown. Theirs is not "another stupid summer" in the parlance of 50 Foot Wave, but one of soft-serve, cartwheels and tranquil afternoons in a hammock. The production on their self-titled debut is refreshingly clean and the instrumentation minimal, in contrast to both current indie pop bands and the original Wall of Sound. They bring to mind 90s [...]

We got another late start on the day after the whatever-eth consecutive night of going to bed at dawn and waking up 4 or 5 hours later and, following some homemade sangria and venison burgers (appropriate fare for our next destination), made our way to Spider House for Burgermania, a daylong, seven stage muzak extravaganza put on by L.A.'s Burger Records and Austin's Burger City Rock and Roll and encompassing a mind-boggling 76 bands in total. When we arrived, Mean Jeans was just finishing up in the Ballroom bar stage. We were lucky enough to make [...]

Summer Twins are sisters Chelsea and Justine Brown from Riverside, California. The girls formed the band back in 2008 and have since released an EP and their debut self titled first album. Their music is a happy sunny form of pop with a twist of 602s groovy love that could only come out of California. If you combine this with their fresh look and girly attitude, you got a real charmer that will definitely put a smile on your face. Check out 'I will love you' and you'll immediately see what I mean.

Sono due sorelline californiane, si fanno le foto con i pattini, hanno il video pieno di palloncini colorati e indossano abitini a pois: se poi il loro omonimo album d'esordio (dedicato a "mum and dad" addirittura!) non è una pietra miliare del rock ma soltanto un adorabilissima raccolta di piccole canzoni un po' sognanti, sospese tra Tennis e Best Coast, piene di battimani e con tutti gli inevitabili riferimenti Fifties al posto giusto, io proprio non mi lamento. Per di più si chiamano Summer Twins , in anticipo su tutte le vostre voglie di leggerezze [...]

Facebook / summertwins.bandcamp.com/ It's been a few months since I mentioned the undeniably retro, sweet charms of California's Summer Twins , the lead single to their wonderful debut LP "I Don't Care" brightened up a cold, pre-Christmas London weekend and given today (Thursday) was the first day this year I was able to bin the jacket and roll up my shirt sleeves I thought it was an apt time to revisit them... "I Will Love You" is the second taster of the record and it's (of course) all kinds of sugar [...]
