Twin Atlantic - No Sleep




    1.    Who are the chaps? 

     Twin Atlantic are a rock band from Glascow, Scotland. Cooking up tunes since 2007 they have four long players under their belt. No Sleep (June'16) is the first single to bubble off their fourth album GLA (Sept'16). 


    2. What have Twin Atlantic dished up here? 

     No Sleep is a big stomper with rampant licks and riffery. Quiet loud dynamics, lyrical hedonism and a bog standard infectious chorus. No angles on this one. 


    3. Who do Twin Atlantic sound like? 

     Foals, Muse and Weezer come to mind. Sort Hits were feeling the influence of Biffy Clyro. 


4. What have the cut and paste bandits said about No Sleep


“Rough and ready riffs” – Cultured Vultures.

“A punk rock song led by guttural bass and guitar riffs” – Pop Inquirer. 

“Twin Atlantic rock out big time” – Promo News. 




5. Which bands distorted Twin Atlantic's music?  

Bands that have influenced Twin Atlantic are Jimmy Eat World, Nirvana, Queen, Pink Floyd and The Pixies.


6. Why should I give No Sleep a lash? 

No Sleep is the tune you wait for at the gig. The big kahuna. It's time for the mosh pit to go right off.


7. Do Twin Atlantic have any more heavy duty tunes?

A plethora my good man. Heart And Soul is more of the above but better. Brothers And Sisters is goose for the gander and Beast Of Myself  holds it's own in this august company.


8. Any more words sailor?

GLA is produced by Garret "Jackknife" Lee who has put nose to the grind for Weezer, Bloc Party and The Silversun Pickups to name but a few.


“I take pills and I drink alcohol”
