Speedtwinn, the singer/songwriting duo of Derwood Andrews and Gary Twinn,  two London rockers now residing in California, mixes Americana, Outlaw Country and Rockabilly/Blues with a British Punk attitude.

Derwood, formally guitarist in the legendary punk band Generation X, along with Billy Idol, introduced the world to ‘Dancing with Myself’ and other hits. He later formed Empire recording the influential album ‘Expensive Sound’ and founded beatbox rock&rollers Westworld, writing their worldwide hit ‘Sonic Boom Boy’.

Before Gary Twinn was front man for 80s British press darlings Twenty Flight Rockers he was lead singer of Australia’s Supernaut who’s debut release ‘I Like it Both Ways’ caused controversy and excitement, was banned by radio and subsequently rocketed to the top of the Aussie charts. More recently Twinn teamed up with Clem Burke (Blondie), Glen Matlock (Sex Pistols) and James Stevenson (Chelsea) as The International Swingers.

 Andrews and Twinn have performed together on a number of occasions, notably as Dead Horse with Rat Scabies (Damned) and Glen Matlock on the recently released album ‘Blown Away’.

 At the time of recording, Speedtwinn were ahead of the alt-country curve but inexplicably disbanded in 2003 leaving their album to be considered lost; albeit bootlegged online. In 2024 MR Records of Australia unearthed and remastered the original seventeen tracks, encouraging Andrews and Twinn to reform and, at long last, introduce these well crafted, perfectly matured country-rock songs into the mainstream.

California-Reboot features a brand new recording of I Like It Both Ways and is available world-wide through MR Records.

With Dale Daniel on drums, and bass-legend Speedie-John Carlucci, Speedtwinn are currently writing and recording new songs and playing select Los Angeles area shows.
