Admiral Twin is an American pop rock/power pop band, formed in 1997 by members of the Mellowdramatic Wallflowers in Tulsa, Oklahoma. With all of the band members, and producers, they bring many individual influences, skills, and ideas together into a collaborative studio and live show environment. The result is a rich mix of diverse yet harmonious, melody concentrated rock music. Their name comes from the Admiral Twin Drive-In, a very popular drive-in theater that operated in Tulsa from 1951 until it was destroyed by a fire on September 3, 2010.〔() Official Admiral Twin Website/bio〕〔("Large fire reported at Admiral Twin Drive-In" ), ''Tulsa World'', September 3, 2010.〕 (The Admiral Twin Drive-In was rebuilt and reopened for business on June 15th 2012.) 〔("Admiral Twin, the sequel: Newly rebuilt, Tulsa's iconic drive-in theater set to open June 15" )〕 ==1997–August 2002== Admiral Twin released their debut CD, ''Unlucky'', in December 1997 on independent New Pop Revival Records. The band consisted of Brad Becker (vocals, guitar, keyboards, and more), Mark Carr (vocals, bass), Jarrod Gollihare (vocals, drums), and John Russell(vocals, guitar).〔() Official Admiral Twin Website/news archives〕 All of the members are also songwriters. In support of ''Unlucky'', they toured with local Tulsa pop-stars, Hanson, as the opening act on the Albertane Tour in the summer of 1998, playing to sold out crowds and many thousands of fans.〔() Official Admiral Twin Website/tour journal〕 They signed with Mojo records,〔() Official Admiral Twin Website/news archives〕 then a subsidiary of MCA/Universal in the fall of 1998, going in to the studio to record ''Mock Heroic'', which was released June 20, 2000.〔 Official Admiral Twin Website/bnews archives〕 In late 2002 the band recorded backing vocals for a couple of tracks featured on ''Ripley,'' the solo album by The Tractors front man Steve Ripley.
