Scottish based band Twin Atlantic are back with a new single “Stuck In A Car With You”, which has been released on their own label Staple Diet. This new single sees the trio return to the alternative rock sound of their early albums.
“Stuck In A Car With You” will feature on Twin Atlantic’s upcoming 7th studio album, the name of which is yet to be released. The band’s frontman Sam McTrusty is producing and engineering their new album, and whilst they are in the middle of finishing the LP, the singer has teased fans on what’s to come by stating in an interview with NME that “there are a thousand guitars on the record.”
Sam McTrusty said on the subject of returning to the band’s original pop-punk sound “We’ve put our original fans through a bit of a whirlwind, because every record we’ve made almost sounds like a different band”
“With this record, we wanted to make something for the fans, and the kids who first started this band, ‘Stuck In A Car With You’ is a no-nonsense, fast-paced rock song that shines a spotlight on the emotion behind it.”
McTrusty continued, “Since we released [2011’s] ‘Free’ and [2009’s] ‘Vivarium’, fans have basically been asking us to make those albums again. We’ve never been that excited by revisiting the past, but enough time has passed that it felt interesting to do.”
“‘Stuck In A Car With You’ feels like a return but also, we know so much more about crafting songs now that it still feels fresh.”
Alongside the announcement of their brand new single, Twin Atlantic are hitting the road later this year on an intimate UK tour. McTrusty told NME “Maybe it’s a pre-midlife crisis where we want to go back to our teens, touring in a van to places we don’t normally go, but we’re really excited. The shows are going to be fucking amazing and we’re going to give fans an unforgettable night. We’ve been doing this for a minute now and we know how to put on a show. We’re just going to come in and absolutely smash it.”
We’re also very pleased to announce we’re back on the road for a special intimate tour in November. Tickets are on-sale tomorrow (Friday 15th) at 10am – https://t.co/LC4nmGHfL3 pic.twitter.com/bPQcfKNFCR
