We are NOT playing at Skullys on June 10th

About Me

TWIN CAM, pop power from Columbus Ohio, began as a trio in 2000. In December 2006, Matt Cross (The Favors) joined them on drums. This moved Mike Sammons out from behind the drum kit to sing and play guitar. Writing good songs is their goal. Foot-tappin' and hand clappin' tunes. Nothing more, nothin less. "1 and a 2, and a you know what to do..."
Professional adolescents in pop-punk bands study long and hard to make their music sound lighthearted and fun. Only the best — Twin Cam, for instance — make their music sound fun naturally. Twin Cam’s new sixsong, self-titled compact disc crams catchy and clever choruses and verses into gratifying two- and three-minute tunes. --The Columbus Dispatch
Twin Cam has had the fortune of playing with Joan Jett, Unwritten Law, Sum 41, Mest, Less Than Jake, Rancid, Blondie, Oleander, Blue Oyster Cult, Student Rick, Rick Derringer, The Booda Velvets, Rainer Maria, Mic Harrison (Superdrag) and Ultimate Fakebook... They've also played the Warped Tour, Midpoint Music Fest, Midwest Music Summit, and hundreds of backyard BBQs, yeeeeehawww... and so they continue...
