Twin Citizen

Who We Are

Four People,
One Loud Idea

Twin Citizen is a four-piece indie rock band out of Saint Paul, Minnesota, dedicated to crafting music that is at once accessible and adventurous. Funk, alternative, synth, and progressive textures run underneath songs built to connect.

The band has shared stages across the Twin Cities, earned features in Woodbury Magazine, Voyage Minnesota, Dissonance, and more, and built a reputation for a live show with real horsepower behind it.

Right now the band is heads-down on its most ambitious work yet: a self-recorded, self-produced full-length, tracked in a studio they built themselves. New singles are on the way, with the full record targeted for 2027.
