Haneke Twins is a Greek-Swiss outfit that emerged from the Geneva underground scene in 2018. With several releases under their belt, including three albums, they deliver a fierce and uncompromised sound that defies genre clichés. Their music shifts between gothier moods, punkier energy, and wavier textures — but always anchored by baritone vocals and dark, introspective themes.
The band has played numerous shows so far, with a highlight being their appearance as the opening act for She Wants Revenge in Athens in 2023. Haneke Twins’ sound has drawn comparisons to a wide spectrum of artists — from iconic acts like Joy Division and Interpol to to rawer, punk-inspired groups such as T.S.O.L, Savages and IDLES.
The band’s name is a reference to the dark and edgy film director Michael Haneke, who in his works has well illustrated the sense of alienation of the individual in modern society.
