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.

Hello everyone! My name is Scott Itter, but some know me as Dr. Music. I am a music journalist and photographer out of the Chicagoland area, and I have been in practice for over 20 years. I grew up in the 70’s with two big brothers that showed me all kinds of rock and roll. As I grew older I ventured out into different genres like jazz, funk, folk, and whatever else I could wrap my ears around. As I read every liner note and every Circus and Hit Parader like they were the Old and New Testament, I came to realize that I just love sound and appreciate all the people that create it.
I later became a stay-at-home dad and started honing my writing and photography skills to keep my mind from turning into mashed peas. My kids are now adults, my mind is only slightly mushy, and I am thrilled to have the honor of presenting my work to you!
