I became aware of VENUS TWINS back in 2020 when I heard their sophomore EP 'Eat Your Dogs' and that opener "Fkn Lightning" ruined me, reminding me of Big Dick and Death From Above 1979. I helped release that on tape and then hooked up again with the Texan twins for their newest full length 'RAXIS'. The bass and drums duo are currently on the road for a month (their longest tour yet!) and are about halfway through, so peep this podcast to either A) get acquainted with the band or B) learn a lot in-depth info (especially about the lyrical content of the new album). If you'd like more info on their individual releases I've also done a discography review (linked here).
'RAXIS' is definitely one of my favourite albums of 2022 and has taken over as my shower listen. Go check it out first (linked here) then jam this OMSB-first "on the road" podcast. We discussed many-a-things, including (but not limited to): what were you doing when covid stopped the world?, Mommy's Little Boy, learning from Rock Band, Cold Fire, joining Acid Carousel, the scene in Denton, moving to New York, gathering a plethora of influences, the best Circa Survive album, the meaning of RAXIS, the benefits of being twins in a band, tour stories, lego rave party, family members and vices, being vegan and the Animal Kill Clock, xanax + weed = demons, future EP plans, etc. Bands played in this podcast: Big Dick, Big Hand//Big Knife, Hella, Tongues Of Fire, and YHWH Nailgun.
