Twin Berlin are a 4 piece out of New England that have really caught my attention.
A great way to describe their sound is a mix of The Strokes and Libertines. They got the guitar riffs and rhythm section reminiscent of The Libertines, and the garage grit of The Strokes. It is almost scary how close lead singer Matt Lopez sounds like Julian Casablancas. Twin Berlin’s two songs “Fake It Well” and “Pretty From The Window” are tightly played and super catchy. You would think that these guys have been doing this for years after hearing how well they play, when in fact they are young. There songs give off a classic/punk 70’s indie vibe that is simply something that I wouldn’t want you to miss out on. They got the goods.
I hope to see these guys everywhere soon! See what I am talking about:

Stumbled across this searching through strokes news… great songs, can’t wait to get a copy!
came across the band on The Strokes’ forum, love them! I totally agree about what you said, from the first second, I thought “whoa, Libs meets Strokes”
do you know if they have released an album yet? doesn’t seem like it.
