Coffee Break: Band members who are twins

Today is the Minnesota Twins’ home opener at Target Field in Minneapolis, so let’s create a soundtrack for the start of Major League Baseball in the Twin Cities. (The Twins, named after the not-at-all-identical Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, host the Cleveland Guardians at 3:30 p.m. Central.) But, but, but, we’re not looking for baseball material. Today’s all about the twins.

To get more specific, let’s find songs that feature performances by twin siblings — either identical or fraternal. Note: They can be playing any instrument in the group, they don’t have to be the vocalists, and we may even allow bands that dress up like they’re twins.

For today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, which songs by bands with members who are twin siblings do you want to hear?
