“If there is a theme to the songs we write, it’s that we don’t hold humanity in very high regard, “ Jason said. “I write the lyrics to our songs, and generally they take a look at people who do things without really thinking. There’s a lot of that going on these days. People act like idiots.“
Twin Method have been developing on their decidedly negative view of the human race virtually all their lives. That’s what happens when four members are brothers and the other two members are childhood friends of the family.
Growing up in the musically rich vibe of Liverpool spurred the bands creative juices, somewhat ironically – in the light of the city’s rock history – there were very few places for a band like Twin Method to perform in and around the town’s environs. Undeterred, the TM boys forged ahead, playing wherever and whenever they could until they were finally ‘discovered’ in 2004 and whisked off to Los Angeles, to begin recording the Volume Of Self.
Vocalist Jason Carter Potticary, Bassist matt Carter, Drummer Adam Carter, Programmer Robin Carter, Vocalist Yan Lamberti and guitarist Dean Gibney produce a sound that is equal parts classic rock raw and new age rant. Blending influences as diverse as Motley Crue, Pantera, Megadeath, NoFX and Nine inch Nails, Twin Method have quickly marked themselves as a band determined to go a long way.
With Machineheads Logan Mader handling production chores, there is no question that this is one band that has learned their Rock and Roll lessons well...and they are now determined to put everything that they have learned to good use.
