Twisted Method was an American nu metal band. It was formed in 1998 in Cape Coral, Florida, by Mariner High School students Derrick "Tripp" Tribbett, Ben Goins, Andrew Howard and Derek DeSantis. For the latter part of their existence, the band was based in Fort Myers, Florida.

After signing a million-dollar record deal with MCA Records, Twisted Method released their first and only album, Escape From Cape Coma, in 2003. The band subsequently promoted its release with extensive touring, including an appearance on the second stage of the 2003 Ozzfest tour. Twisted Method disbanded in June 2005, following the departure of guitarist Andrew Howard and drummer Ben Goins.^[1] On September 16, 2005, Howard was found dead. The band has since returned in 2012 and 2014 for two reunion shows.^[2]
