The Devils Twins w/ Carissa Johnson
Catchy, yet haunting, dueling vocals by Nikki Coogan and Jeremiah Louf atop a wall of sound generated by only one guitar is what defines the unique sound of the Boston-based duo The Devils Twins. The press and their underground cult followingThe 2crewdescribe their sound as noir punk.

After winning the Boston Music Award for Indie/Rock Artist of the Year in 2016 (as well as looping a nomination for Live Artist of the Year), the Twins not only went on to receive nominations for 2017s Rock Artist of the Year and Music Video of the Year, but were also a part of the inaugural class of the 617Sessions (a collection of local artists chosen for their contribution to the local sound). Theyre rising fast, and with good reason: theyve gained a reputation for being an extremely high energy spectacle touching on a wide range of emotions; from explosive anger tantrumsbeating guitars and tambourines into the stageto whiskey-soaked, old fashioned rockn'roll foot stompers, all while keeping it light between songs with playful banter between the trio and the crowd.
With a debut album "For Now" winning Album of the Year by the Limelight Music Awards, Johnson continues to push ahead, writing enthusiastically honest songs. With influences evident in her music, her and her band's sound pays tribute to seventies punk and new wave, yet remains authentically their own. Johnson is known for her straight-forward lyrics, driving, four on the floor melodies, and her band, the Cure-Alls, inimitable live energy. The band's heartening anthemic rock has proven to stand out amongst their contemporaries. In April of 2017 Johnson and the band won Boston's legendary annual Rock and Roll Rumble (previous winners include 'Til Tuesday and The Dresden Dolls), and in December took home the New Act of the Year award at Boston's 30th Annual Music Awards at the House of Blues. Johnson recently spoke at Apple in San Francisco alongside Vanessa Silberman for a #TodayatApple 3-part series on being an independent artist and creating her own media company Fuel Heart Productions. Determined to share her music with the world, Carissa Johnson continues to tour and play shows throughout the U.S. and now Europe (with or without the Cure-Alls) currently in promotion of their latest full-length release, "Talk Talk Talk."
