[2026] Cool! A roundup of Western bands with twin vocals

If you love bands with two lead vocalists—where each sings lead on the songs they wrote, or they trade off on lead—you’re probably not alone.

While the term “twin vocals” is really only used in Japan, in this article we’ve rounded up some cool Western bands that feature two lead singers.

From mixed-gender lineups to vocalists with completely different timbres, enjoy the many charms of dual-lead vocals!
