Evil Twin’s Debut Album ‘Upside Down We’re Flying’ Courts Classic Indie Rock

Indie Rock band Evil Twin will release their upcoming full length LP, Upside Down We’re Flying on February 13, 2026. Fronted by songwriter, guitarist and vocalist, Peter McGee, the album draws on classic Indie Rock and contemporary indie songwriting traditions.

Evil Twin pursues organic sounds that arrive when they are in a room playing together. The album was produced by Brayden Baird and in addition to McGee, features guitarist and singer, Claire Stevens, and bassist/vocalist Riina Dougherty. Prior to their departure from the band, Thomas Kikuchi provided drums and percussion. 

McGee says of the band and their recording methods:

We are a callback to the days of three to four person bands – where you kinda marveled at the fact that just a very small group of people on stage are able to make music this big. Nowadays you have whole orchestras on stage and multiple guitar players doing backup, backing tracks and drum machines. And of course we use all that on record too, but at the core every song on this record is the four of us, in a room, playing with each other, reacting to each other. It’s organic. That’s how we recorded it, all live tracked together, then the overdubs sit atop it as a hyper real sheen. Same with the harmonies – we could have done layers of me in overdubs or brought in professional singers, but I feel something is lost when you do that. We wanted the unique flavor that each band member’s voice has. The history of us as a band, and each member’s own history, is in all those voices.

He adds:

We are very out of time aesthetically, and we want to feel like an indie band from the late 80s and early 90s that fits seamlessly into the canon.

Evil Twin will be playing select shows in support of their new music.
