It wouldn’t be a proper list of musical siblings without at least one pair of identical twins. Known for their futuristic dress and stage presence, the group only had one mainstream hit, 1980’s “Whip It,” but have amassed a large cult following over the years and still perform to this day. The Kent State shootings in 1970 prompted him to form a band under the same principle, dubbing it Devo. While at Kent State University, Gerald Casale began making a number of devolution-themed art pieces, mostly as a joke. We’re going to include two sets of siblings here, as both the Mothersbaughs and the Casales make up quirky new wavers Devo. Mark and Bob Mothersbaugh Bob and Gerald Casale (of Devo)

In the summer of 2008, a pair of flannel wearing teenage sisters from Sweden posted a cover of Fleet Foxes’ “Tiger Mountain Peasant Song” to YouTube. Johanna and Klara Söderberg (of First Aid Kit) Some feuded, some got along splendidly, but they all used their brotherly or sisterly bonds to write and record some of our favorite music.
We’ve compiled a list of 15 of our favorite musical siblings. Props are due, then, to all of the musicians who not only share the same livelihood with their talented siblings, but who do it performing with them, touring with them and collaborating creatively with them. It’s not uncommon for our relationships with our siblings to morph from contentious to amiable as we age, but it’s unclear whether that’s because we’re maturing, or because we no longer have to live in the same house. The prospect of going into business with a brother or sister might seem a nightmare for many of us.
