My Wicked Twin are a Canadian hard rock band from Kitchener, Ontario that formed in 2008. They have their genesis in an earlier band called Brent Doerner's Decibel, which suffered from less than satisfactory sales. Revamped as My Wicked Twin, they now consist of Brent Doerner of Helix, his twin brother Brian Doerner of Saga (also ex-Helix), Uzi (Mike Uzelac) (also ex-Helix), and Shane Schedler (ex-Martyrs of Melody). Brent and Brian Doerner had been playing music together since the age of 8.

History
The first lineup of the band under their original name, Brent Doerner's Decibel, came together in 2006. According to Doerner:
The debut CD was self-produced by Brent Doerner at The Bunker studio in Kitchener, Ontario. The band later added bass player and vocalist Hills Walter, with Brian Doerner joining on drums, doing double-duty with Saga.
On October 6, 2007, Brian Doerner suffered a heart attack. He was due to leave for Europe on a Saga tour. His life was saved, and eventually was able to return to drumming. Brian noted if the heart attack had happened a day later when he was leaving with Saga, "If I'd been on the plane, I'd be dead."
In January 2009, the band announced they had changed their name to My Wicked Twin, and announced the current lineup of Brent & Brian Doerner, Shane Schedler, and new addition Mike Uzelac on bass. Uzelac had previously played with the Doerners in Helix. Their debut album as My Wicked Twin, called Decibel Music was released in early 2009 both physically and on iTunes. They had been recording the album for a year, under the tentative title The Ashtray Sonatas. One track from the CD entitled "Get Your Game On" was unsuccessfully submitted to the CBC during their search for a new Hockey Night In Canada theme song.
In February 2009, Helix announced that Brent Doerner had returned to the band, committing to a minimum of one year, and doing double-duty with My Wicked Twin. Both bands have continued to gig simultaneously.
