Scottish alternative rock band Twin Atlantic have officially returned with their brand new single, "Don’t Quit It," a bold burst of alt-pop that delivers the band's signature widescreen melodic hooks. The release also serves as the launch of an exciting new partnership with the prominent independent record label Dance To The Radio.
Written by frontman Sam McTrusty, the track captures the musicians in a freer, more instinctive creative environment that channels a Daft Punk-tinged edge. McTrusty explained that the track centers on the concept of perseverance and the inability to walk away from something or someone you love, regardless of how frustrating or painful it can occasionally be. The frontman added that he wanted to craft a bold, fun rock song that encourages audiences to cast aside pretense and simply embrace the joy of the music.
Significantly, the single features the band’s four original founding members—Sam McTrusty, Ross McNae, Barry McKenna, and Craig Kneale—performing on a track together for the first time in three albums. This core reunion brings a renewed energy and familiar spark back to the group's hard-hitting, anthemic songwriting style, which has historically drawn creative inspiration from legendary rock acts such as Nirvana, The Cure, and Muse. The driving track is additionally being utilized as an artistic tribute to the Scotland national football team as they prepare to travel to the United States for this summer's World Cup tournament.
The single drop kicks off a busy summer touring schedule for the four-piece. Twin Atlantic will embark on a series of intimate Scottish headline dates in June, stopping at the Albert Halls in Stirling, La Belle Angele in Edinburgh, and the Beach Ballroom in Aberdeen.
Following their headline shows, the band will join pop-rock veterans McFly as special guests for an extensive run of outdoor castle and forest shows across the United Kingdom. This high-profile touring itinerary includes dates at Lincoln Castle, Cardiff Castle, and the Piece Hall in Halifax, before concluding with a major outdoor homecoming show at Glasgow’s Queen’s Park on 27 August. Tickets and streaming options for the new single are available now.
