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."

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.

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!
