Glaswegian band reunite original line-up and confirm Dance To The Radio tie-up.
Twin Atlantic have returned with new single ‘Don’t Quit It’, their first release through new label partner Dance To The Radio.
Written by frontman Sam McTrusty, the track acts as a nod to the Scotland national football team ahead of this year’s World Cup in the USA.
“It’s about not being able to quit something, or someone, that no matter how much it hurts or drags you down, or disappoints or frustrates you sometimes, you can’t help but love it and need it,” McTrusty explains.
“It’s accepting that it’s a part of you and without it you’d be less and so it’s worth the perseverance. I wanted to shine a big spotlight on that experience and make a big bold fun rock song, hands in the air, let go of the pretense, take off your seat belt, and feel the fun.”
‘Don’t Quit It’ also marks the first time in three albums that all four original members — Sam McTrusty, Ross McNae, Barry McKenna and Craig Kneale — have appeared together on a recording.
