Twin Atlantic: The Scottish Rockers with a Message
Twin Atlantic is a Scottish alternative rock band that has made waves in the music industry with their energetic live performances and introspective lyrics. Formed in 2007 in Glasgow, the band consists of frontman Sam McTrusty, guitarist Barry McKenna, bassist Ross McNae, and drummer Craig Kneale.
Challenging Beginnings
The band's early years were marked by challenges. They faced financial constraints and struggled to gain recognition. However, their determination and passion for music kept them going. Through relentless gigging and word-of-mouth, they gradually built a loyal following.
Breakthrough and Recognition
In 2011, Twin Atlantic released their debut album, "Vivarium." The album received critical acclaim and spawned the hit singles "Make a Beast of Myself" and "Free." The album's success propelled them into the mainstream, and they embarked on extensive tours across the UK and beyond.
Their sophomore album, "Great Divide," released in 2014, further solidified their status as a formidable live band. The album featured the singles "Heart and Soul" and "Brothers and Sisters," which became fan favorites.
Controversies and Evolution
In 2016, Twin Atlantic released their third album, "GLA." The album was met with mixed reviews, with some critics citing a shift in their sound. However, the band remained steadfast in their artistic vision, and the album showcased their growth and experimentation.
Their fourth album, "Power," released in 2019, marked a return to their earlier rock roots. The album featured the singles "Novocaine" and "What Is Light? Where Is Laughter?" The latter became a defining anthem for the band, reflecting on themes of mental health and the search for meaning.
