Tweens

Self-described being a “awful, doo-woppy band,” Cincinnati’s TWEENS borrow off their hometown’s rock history aswell as from bad-girl punk through the ’70s through the ’90s. The trio shaped in Apr 2012 when vocalist/guitarist Bridget Fight started playing a Dixie-Cups track with drummer Jerri Queen and bassist Peyton Copes in the practice space of the home they shared. It had been completely different musical place compared to the trio’s additional projects: Fight was an associate of the digital noise band General public Casing, while Queen and Copes performed in the experimental punk take action Vacation. Immediately after developing, TWEENS started playing local displays and released a cassette of cover tunes, Live @ Mohawk. The music group got a large break in 2013 when it had been suggested as an starting act for just one from the Breeders’ Last Splash reunion gigs by who owns an area record shop. After playing that display, TWEENS were induced for a lot of the Breeders’ East Coastline dates and for his or her entire West Coastline tour. Between these displays and dates using the Dark Lips, the music group still were able to record its self-titled debut recording with Eli Janney at Brooklyn’s Saltlands Studio room, and TWEENS premiered in Apr 2014.
