Taken from their critically acclaimed debut album, “Free” - Twin Atlantic will release new single “Make A Beast Of Myself” on September 26th. Head over to the band’s official YouTube site to see the brilliant video which was shot in one take in Berlin with director James Slater earlier this summer http://www.youtube.com/user/twinatlantic
In other TA news, last week the band were featured on a BBC Radio 1 documentary called “The Next Big Thing” which also included We Are The Ocean & Lower Than Atlantis. As three of the most exciting bands in UK Rock, the bands talked in depth about why rock music is more relevant now that it has been in years.
2011 is shaping up to be the year of Twin Atlantic. Following a UK Top 40 and number 2 album in the rock chart, the quartet’s meteoric rise to the forefront of UK rock is an amazing story. The band rocked crowds all over the UK and Europe this summer, major radio and TV stations are adding the band to their playlists, huge press features are running and an enormous amount of love for the band on fan forums have shone a bright light on one of the best bands in the UK.
Their full-length debut album ‘Free’ is an inspiring collection of songs full of ambition, pain, belief and soul. In a world of music dominated by talent show winners, mass-marketed bands and meaningless music, here, finally, is a band in which to invest your heart.
Twin Atlantic are:
Sam McTrusty – Lead Vocals & Guitar
Ross McNae – Bass, Piano & Vocals
Barry McKenna – Guitar, Cello & Vocals
Craig Kneale – Drums & Vocals
