TWINBALL first started out as a cover band in 1997 under the name Bad Reputation. The band played classic hardock tunes, relying strongly on Lizzy materials as the main part. In April 2000, the band went through a re-construction, adding Daniel Samuelsson (vo/b) and L.E. Pettersson shifting from bass duty to drum stall. They gradually started writing their own songs, and got a deal with Sweden Rock Records with only two songs in the can. Having changed the name to TWINBALL, they released the debut album “Remnants Of A Broken Soul“ in 2002. The mix of rock/metal/pop and the twin guitar became a trademark for them. After touring for a few months, they had a chance to play the biggest gig ever for them – Sweden Rock Festival! A member change followed, and also did a new deal with a Japanese label Spiritual Beast. The new album “Slave“ is to be released in April 2007.

The band is a Swedish outfit sporting their newest record, a sophomore effort entitled "Slave". The band originally started as a Thin Lizzy cover band known as Bad Reputation. In 2002 the group released their debut album, "Remnants Of A Broken Soul", on Sweden Rock Records. Those of you who enjoy the likes of Winger, Pink Cream 69, and Fozzy should find plenty of freedom with "Slave", an album that is soaked in twin guitar melody, ascending leads, and one fantastic vocalist in Daniel Samuelsson.
