We want to play the game at the highest level. We want to become THE currency by which youth culture is bought and sold. We want to SAVE ROCK AND ROLL so that our t-shirts will be worn in the next summer action blockbuster by millionaire placeholders. We want to scare old white people and enthrall their children, so that we may in turn become soft and rich and fearful of the next wave of youth culture marketing. We have our first reunion tour planned. We will kill on t-shirt sales alone. We realize that we are not selling music; we are selling product, and our product is progress. We want to antagonize established artists and then patch things up at awards ceremonies, creating ratings bonanzas for everybody involved. We want to donate all of our blood money to fashionable causes. We want to preach about the evils of capitalism from expensive microphones in million-dollar studios. We want it all.

"Siamese Twins are a fairly new band to Atlanta, composed of members of some underground heroes… We just got the chance to interview them about their music and other stuff, take a read below to find out more about the thrash/punk all stars we know as Siamese Twins…
Who are the members of Siamese Twins and what do you play?
Joey Hoffman is our vocalist, Ben Ziskind is our guitarist, and Elliot Fullerton is our bassist. Ryan DiDio plays drums, does backup vocals, and does some recording for the band.
What does the name Siamese Twins mean?
We threw around a lot of band names before settling on Siamese Skin, which is what we went by for one or two shows. I have no idea why we thought that was a good name … it’s pretty dumb. We were kind of rushed because we had our first show coming up but didn’t have a name, so I think we just synthesized one out fragments of other names we’d been throwing around. But yeah, eventually we decided to change it to Siamese Twin, the name we’ve played most of our shows under so far. And then recently we pluralized it to make it Siamese Twins. We promise we won’t change it again. As for any significance in the name, I wish I could say there was some, but it’s just to be taken at face value.
What kind of music would you describe Siamese Twins as playing?
I think a lot of bands will tell you that they’re not necessarily aiming for a specific genre when they write their music, which is also the case for us. We know we want to play music that’s generally fast, loud, jarring, cathartic, and at least somewhat relatable to the listener. I’d also say there’s a component of sloppiness in our music — especially during our lives shows – and while I wouldn’t say we’re necessarily proud of playing sloppily, I think the underlying idea is to put expression before perfection.
Although I think the foundation of our music is punk, I’m sure if we tried to say we’re a punk band, punk purists would have aneurysms. That would probably be an inaccurate description anyway. I hate to sound like the “we play music that defies labels and categorization” guy, so I’ll say that there are definitely elements of surf, punk and post-punk, hardcore and post-hardcore, noise, and the occasional tinge of jazz and pop."
