Last month, Sub Pop announced the signing of the prolific and mythical Twisted Teens, the New Orleans band led by Caspian Halliwell and RJ Santos, with plans to release their new music throughout the known universe in 2026 and beyond.
A fearless blend of garage punk, country, folk, and proto-punk, powered by gritty guitars, pedal steel, and razor-sharp songwriting. Equal parts ragged, melodic, and exhilarating, it carves out a sound that’s unmistakably its own.
Twisted Teens are a New Orleans band making scrappy, hook-filled rock ‘n’ roll that lands somewhere between punk and country. Drawing loose comparisons to The Kinks, The Rolling Stones and Buzzcocks, they deliver rough-edged songs packed with big melodies and restless energy. Equal parts swagger, wit and chaos, their music blurs familiar influences into something entirely their own, proving that catchy tunes and anarchic spirit can happily coexist.
