Twin Atlantic To Support The Gaslight Anthem

• 28th May 2010

It would be an understatement to say that 2010 has already been a landmark year for Twin Atlantic. From a triumphant hometown show selling out the 1250-capacity Glasgow ABC, to a European stint with Enter Shikari and culminating an epic US tour, Twin Atlantic have already hit 17 countries this year and are becoming a truly world-beating band.

The evolution only continues, however, with the announcement that they have been personally invited to support Gaslight Anthem on their UK tour in June, in what will be Twin Atlantic’s biggest shows yet. The tour includes stops at Glasgow Academy on 23 June and London’s Brixton Academy on 29 June.
To celebrate these huge shows, an exclusive Innerpartysystem remix of the ‘Vivarium’ mini-album track live favourite ‘Human After All’ plus a brand new video will be available to download from 21 June.

Sam McTrusty (vocals, guitar) said, “Human After All is definitely the darkest track on ‘Vivarium’, and the video links in with the lyrical content – it was great to work with Hannah Lux Davis [director of the What is Light? Where is Laughter? video] again. This last year has been an amazing time for our band, but this is just the beginning – the best is yet to come.”

Twin Atlantic will also be appearing at a string of festivals across Europe this summer, including the main stage of Rockness on 13 June, the main stage of the 2000 Trees festival on 17 July, and headlining the Red Bull Bedroom Jam stage of the Hevy Festival on 7 August.

The band also filmed a documentary for Scuzz TV in New York on their first US tour with Fall of Troy and Envy on the Coast. The hour-long show includes live footage of their show in Irving Plaza, and will first be broadcast on Scuzz TV in June.
