New Album Info + Tour Dates from Twin Atlantic

>> Glasgow’s Twin Atlantic will release their upcoming album, Free, digitally on May 3rd in the U.S. through Red Bull Records. The album artwork can be seen below.


>> In describing the new batch of songs, frontman Sam McTrusty explains, “We wanted there to be a brutal honesty in the lyrics. There are love songs and relationship songs, there are some with a party vibe, and there are some that are weird, heavy and grungy pop songs.” Guitarist Barry McKenna adds, “Personally the only thing I wanted to achieve from this whole process is an album the four of us could stand by and invest ourselves in. We have done that.”

>> The title track and current single “Free” has already been garnering impressive spins on BBC Radio 1, and its companion video can be viewed below.


>> Twin Atlantic are preparing to head out on a headline tour of the UK/Europe starting April 27 in Belfast (see dates below). Summer festival dates throughout the UK and Europe are lining up now, and the band is expected to be back in the U.S. for a tour this fall.
