Twin Noir is a Berlin-based post-punk/new wave duo formed in 2021 by Cody Barcelona (vocals, electronics, guitar) and Ian Volt (vocals, bass). Their music blends minimalist German lyrics with basslines, atmospheric guitars, synthesizers, and electronic drums, creating a sound influenced by bands like Kraftwerk and DAF.
The duo’s debut EP, “2 Punks and a Tape Machine – Chapter 1”, was released in November 2021, featuring tracks such as “Death Comes Easily” and “Analog”. They followed up with their first full-length album, “2 Punks and a Tape Machine”, in April 2023, which includes songs like “Ich tanz” and “Paul war mal Punk”.
Their second album, “Chapter 2”, was released in September 2024, showcasing tracks like “Durchdrehen” and “Schwarze Katze” for which the band now presents a brand new video. The single comes ahead of a new album expected to be released on January 17th.
The band has been touring intensively with about 60-80 Shows each year. After the tour with She Past Away they followed it up with the mostly sold out EU tour with Traitrs.

Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
