Twin Peaks is a garage rock band from Chicago composed of guitarist Cadien Lake James, guitarist Clay Frankel, bassist Jack Dolan, keyboardist Colin Croom, and drummer Connor Brodner.

The band formed in 2009, when all of the members were still in high school. Cadien and Jack attended Jones College Prep, same as alumnus Chance The Rapper, while Clay and Connor attended Lane Tech, also home to rapper Towkio. Colin contributed to the band’s second album Wild Onion, but wasn’t an official member of the band until 2015.

Though Cadien, whose older brother Hal was the drummer for Chicago indie rock band Smith Westerns, brought the band together, they eschew the term “frontman”, as each member outside of Brodner lends vocals to their songs.

The band draws heavily on 1960’s and 70’s rock influences like The Rolling Stones and The Beatles, melding that era’s sound with 2000’s garage rock á la The Strokes. The result is a DIY balance between melody and punk that makes for both a jam-filled lo-fi record and a raucous live show.
