Twin Atlantic are an alternative rock band originating and based in Glasgow, Scotland.

Biography

Twin Atlantic formed in March of 2007. All members were previously in other bands: Sam in Arca Felix (who still remain a respectable force on the local scene), Ross in LongStoryShort, Barry in Think:Fire and Craig in In Ernest.

During 2007 they built up a strong reputation both locally and nationally with tour support slots with Circa Survive and mewithoutyou. This culminated in the release of a download single on 24 December 2007, and a four track EP on 14 January 2008.

Building on support from Kerrang, the band's profile was boosted enough for them to land support slots with Biffy Clyro and they were personally chosen by Jimmy Chamberlin to support Smashing Pumpkins at Glasgow's SECC in early February. Over the following months, Twin Atlantic also supported American acts The Matches, Finch and Say Anything on their respective UK tours as well as You Me At Six, Funeral For A Friend, Thrice and Lostprophets. Twin Atlantic also played numerous festivals in 2008, including T in the Park, Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival, Rock Ness, Live At Loch Lomond and Connect Music Festival.

The band recently signed a single deal with King Tuts Recordings, and 'What Is Light? Where Is Laughter?' was released on 29th September 2008. They have also recently completed a joint headline tour of Scotland with The Xcerts and will embark on their first set of headline dates across the UK on 14th Sept.

The Glasgow four piece have also just been invited to be main support on The Subways UK tour throughout October.

At their recent gig at King Tuts Wah Wah Hut (28/09/2008) Sam McTrusty said they would be recording an album in January 2009.
