“We often combine music and lyrics to make songs,” claims the band that's been tipped by BBC Introducing, won the support of Clash, 6 Music and Stereogum, and performed prime time on London Live TV.

Besides upcoming slots at two major UK festivals, twin hidden have played shows from London’s Ronnie Scott’s to Manchester’s Roadhouse, and from SoFar Sounds to crowded garages in Hackney. twin hidden performed their first ever show on the small, uninhabited island of Rockall, 300km off the coast of Scotland. Nobody came.

Matthew Shribman and Sam Lea began making music together at the age of 10, and released their first album in 2001, before their voices broke. This album is now where it belongs, at the bottom of the sea, where it will never be found.

After school, Matthew went to Oxford University, and Sam to Manchester University. Following this, there was a brief hiatus, during which Matthew spent half a year in Germany making rope, and Sam wandered the north of England, looking for Matthew.

Since 2013, Matthew and Sam have been back in the laboratory, mixing vials of guitar into solutions of purest rhythm, to bring you twin hidden.
