Sean and John Kamenar are twin brothers from Florida that started their band in 2015 after going on the Aerosmith roller coaster at Disney World. Although the brothers cite Aerosmith as the catalyst for their formation, their music takes on many textures and sounds. Working as a duo, they play their live show with no tracks and yet put forth a wall of sound. Kamenar have opened and shared stages with Alice Cooper, Slash, King’s X, Dokken, Stryper, and many more. They have a new single called “Now That We Both Know,” with another single called “The Man” ready to be released on Friday, May 26, 2024 and they are preparing to hit the road throughout the month of May and into June 2024.
In this interview, we talk to brothers Sean and John about their love for Aerosmith, their decision to perform as a duo, their plans to release new original music, and what we might see from them in the future.

"As an independent band, we are stoked to be embarking on our first national headline tour. We can't wait to see everyone out on the road!" - John Kamenar
The Florida rock duo made up of 21-year-old twin brothers Sean Kamenar (Lead Vocals/Guitars) and John Kamenar (Drums), has continued to make headlines being one of the most talked-about musical groups in the state of Florida.
Kamenar released their self-titled debut EP in the fall of 2020. The EP consisted of three tracks: Never Enough Time, Crazy Life, and Ways to Get High.
Since the release of the EP, they have been quickly making a name for themselves playing before national acts such as The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Alice Cooper, and Slash ft. Myles Kennedy, Hinder, Bret Michaels, Warrant, Jackyl, Stryper, Nita Strauss, Geoff Tate, Tony Harnell, BulletBoys, and New Year's Day. Kamenar also performed at Orange Loop Rock Festival in Atlantic City, New Jersey alongside Stone Temple Pilots, Chevelle, John 5, Hoobastank, Puddle Of Mudd, LA Guns, and just recently toured with Keith Wallen of Breaking Benjamin. Kamenar also made a two-day appearance at The RokIsland Festival in Key West, FL, performing the pre-parties, featuring Styx, Tesla, Extreme, Quiet Riot, Enuff Z Nuff, among many others.
It's been a busy time for Kamenar, who plans to release their first full-length studio album later this year.
The brothers describe their music as inspired by '80s hair bands, blended with a new, modern rock sound. They formed the band in 2015 after discovering Aerosmith at their Rock N Roller Coaster in Disney's Hollywood Studios.
Their goal is to bring hard rock back into the mainstream and strive to put on a show that has never been seen before, such as a twin brother drum solo. Their high energy and passion on stage is infectious and is simply a show not to be missed.
Make sure to catch Kamenar on their Live Loud and Raw US Tour in a city or state near you!
