THE JUGGERNAUT JOURNAL: Our Featured Interview with John & Sean Kamenar
Q: If your band has some creative differences when making a new song, how do you overcome them? In your opinion, does this help to make the song(s) better and the band stronger?
John: "We fight until we agree or one of us comprises. Brotherly love haha. But honestly, we’ve learned that creative differences can be a great thing. We’re both big on the music, so we’re not afraid to challenge each other’s ideas or speak up when we think something could be better. At the end of the day, we know it’s not about who’s right, it’s about making the songs as strong as they can be."
Kamenar: The Tampa Boys’ Hustle Continues - Steve Brown of Tesla & Tommy Lee of Motley Crue Take Notice
Tesla drummer Steve Brown was recently spotted sporting a KAMENAR tee while playing at the recent Mid Florida Credit Union Amphitheater gig on The Return of the Carnival of Sins Tour. But the real “holy shit” moment from that night came backstage when the brothers met one of their biggest heroes, Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee.
Lee didn’t just say hello and take the cheesy obligatory pic. He kicked it with the brothers for roughly half an hour and is now helping spread the KAMENAR name across his social media.

Aerosmith’s Bassist Tom Hamilton Makes Final Appearance at Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster with New Band Close Enemies and Twin Brother Rock Duo Kamenar
Aerosmith’s Bassist Tom Hamilton Makes Final Appearance at Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster. The end of an era is officially in sight at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and legendary Aerosmith bassist Tom Hamilton wasn’t about to let it pass without one last high-speed goodbye.
Yesterday, Hamilton made a surprise appearance at the park, visiting the iconic Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith for what is expected to be his final time as the attraction’s featured artist. Accompanied by members of his new powerhouse rock band, Close Enemies, and the rising twin-brother duo Kamenar, Hamilton took a moment to reflect on the ride that has stood as a monument to the “Bad Boys from Boston” since 1999.
A PASSING OF THE TORCH
The visit was a full-circle moment for several people in attendance. Pictured alongside Hamilton were Sean and John Kamenar of the band Kamenar. The twin brothers, who are currently opening for Hamilton on tour, have famously credited the Aerosmith coaster as the very reason they started playing music. After discovering the band through the ride at age 13, the brothers formed their own group, eventually finding themselves sharing the stage with their idol.
KAMENAR & TOM HAMILTON OF AEROSMITH LIVE AT THE WHISKY A GO GO SHOW REVIEW
“Kamenar delivered an electrifying performance at The Whisky, proving once again why this twin‑brother duo is quickly becoming one of rock’s most exciting rising acts. Their set was tight, energetic, and refreshingly unpretentious—built on sharp riffs, melodic hooks, and the natural chemistry only siblings can pull off. The crowd locked in immediately, feeding off their confidence and stage presence. The night became even more memorable when the brothers met Close Enemies founder—and legendary Aerosmith bassist—Tom Hamilton backstage right after their set. His warm reaction felt like a passing of the torch. Kamenar walked onstage as openers, but they left like headliners in the making. Congrats to Sean and John Kamenar on an amazing performance—hope to see you both back in LA soon.“ - Highwire Daze Magazine

Twin Brother Hard Rock Duo Shares the Stage with an Aerosmith Legend at Hollywood's Most Iconic Rock Venue
HOLLYWOOD, CA / ACCESS Newswire / January 1, 2026 /
For Kamenar, the night marks a true full-circle moment. The band was formed in 2015 after twin brothers Sean and John Kamenar discovered Aerosmith through their iconic Rock 'n' Roller Coaster at Hollywood Studios in Orlando, Florida. That experience sparked their passion for rock music and ultimately led to the formation of Kamenar.
Opening for Tom Hamilton is especially meaningful for the band, as Kamenar credits the five members of Aerosmith as the catalyst behind their decision to form a band and begin playing music. Sharing the stage with one of their biggest inspirations-at one of the most historic rock venues in the world-represents a defining moment in their career.

10 Years & Kamenar Live at mahall’s 2/8/25
10 Years was supported by Keith Wallen, along with opening act Kamenar. Kamenar is a two-piece act between twin brothers Sean and John Kamenar. With only two members, duties are split up with Sean playing guitar, bass, and vocals, while John covers the drums and amping up the crowd. Kamenar debuted in 2020 with their self-titled EP and released a few singles in 2024 and 2025. They surprised me when they did a cover of Badflower’s ‘Animal,’ as I am a fan of them myself, and I loved their rendition of it. They are more alternative rock compared to the other bands on the bill, and their inspiration from the 70s and 80s bands was evident in their sound. I look forward to hearing what else they create this year!
