Solar Twins are English electronica duo with Joanna Stevens (vocals; half Burmese) and David Norland (producer/every instrument/vocals; grew up in west London, classically trained).

They were signed by Guy Oseary at Maverick Records after playing at Viper Room. They are famous for their song "Rock the Casbah", found on the soundtrack to the movie "Brokedown Palace". They made one album, and split after attempting a second, thwarted by insurmountable creative differences.
