Denmark based Twin Dive's live version of "Blue Husky (Черный ворон)" speaks to the three piece's alt rock / post punk muscular and massive sound. The stalking tom tom beat, dominant bass and thick dirty guitar lines provide a formidable, potent and darkly drawn framework for a gritty vocal aesthetic that is raw but artfully cool as well.
At the same time that I feel alt-rock tones, there elements of grunge churning in the stew as well as post punk and a sort of slick leather meets satin rock hearkening to bands in NYC in the late 70's / 80's like Richard Hell and the Voidoids (if not in sound but in artistic attitude and emotional temperament). In some way, I can't help but think of a car crash of sounds and styles from Queens of the Stone Age to Nirvana to Mondo Generator. Whatever informs the sound here, Twin Dive does have a very cool brooding rock sound, one for the ages, one that will never fully go away and that is a glorious thing.

THE FACTS AS WE KNOW THEM - PRESS NOTES
https://www.facebook.com/twindiveband
TWIN DIVE's blend of classic 90s-infused alternative guitar rock, fueled with their pan-Scandinavian heritage and served with small doses of bravado and a confident stage presence - echo the high times of classic “Alt-Punk” and stabs of lo-fi noise rock, while also treading into the here and now when paired with well-placed lyrics and distinct melodies.
They've swagger without the cheese, they've intensity without the histrionics and a sound that slithers and lurks with intent.
