Twin Atlantic is from Glasgow, Scotland, and their brand of music italicizes towards alternative. Each of the four members have been in other bands, Sam McTrusty who is the lead singer and plays guitar was in Arca Felix, that band had a punk, progressive and experimental base. Barry McKenna was in Think: Fire which had an Indie and rock sound and an alternative label stuck on them have since broken up, Barry plays guitar, cello and contributes background vocals.
Ross McNae was in LongStoryShort, they have a pop punk and alternative sound, Ross plays bass guitar, piano and helps with backing vocals in Twin Atlantic. The last member is Craig Kneale; he was in Ernest who played pop, rock and alternative music. Craig pounds the skins behind the rest of the guys. As you can see, when these four musicians got together they each had something different to bring to the amplifier.
They garnered a lot of attention with their first single titled "Audience And Audio" which was available through digital download, they released an EP titled "A Guidance From Colour" it became available for purchase through a CD format and digital download on January 14, 2008. Their next single was called "What Is Light? Where Is Laughter?" and it was a single deal with King Tuts Recordings.
Twin Atlantic have gone back into the studio and signed with Red Bull Records and plan to release a mini album, their producer is John Travis, and he has worked with heavy hitters such as Static-X, Monster Magnet and Kid Rock. If you want to catch Twin Atlantic on tour you will have to travel to the UK to see them. They have played in the states but unless you were hiding in their bearded faces you might have missed them.
Since Glasgow, Scotland is their home they have come from some familiar names in music like Mogwai. This band plays what is called math rock or art rock. The most recognizable name from Glasgow is Franz Ferdinand. Twin Atlantic has been known to play high octane Emo and their stage presence is commended because they play with a fire that has been missing from rock. A cello is heard on "A Guidance From Colour" showing that they can add more to a song than the standard four piece instruments require.
Musical exports like Twin Atlantic look for a fan base everywhere they go, currently they are limited by the embrace of those who haven't heard these Scots cue up a song. While they are on tour in the UK you can catch them at The Download Festival in June and at The Futures Tent at T in the Park in July. The Sonisphere Festival will host them in August 2009.
To show that they love American music they have been known to play a cover tune such as "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" by Cyndi Lauper. They also will play "Fall at Your Feet" by Crowded House. Currently they are playing ten new songs that have not been released on a full length CD yet, some of those songs are called "Atlas Factory," "Human After All," and "Lights Out." They have played a lot of music festivals to get noticed and the buzz is spreading about what a great live show they are. The lead singer McTrusty has been known to stage dive in order to create some great chemistry with the crowd. If you do catch them live and up front there may be a Sam coming at you.
