I'm stuck here on this island…
Considering it is Thursday, I have decided to do a little ‘throw-back’ from when I saw Twin Atlantic live. On Monday the 5th of November 2012, I went to Norwich, UEA LCR with a couple of my firends to see Twin Atlantic perform with support of the brilliant Charlie Simpson from Busted (do you remember him?!) and Dead Sara.
As we walked into the venue, luckily we managed to grab ourselves a comfortable spot on the steps where we could see clearly. Personally, i was a little disappointed with Dead Sara, however on the other hand, when Charlie Simpson came on, I was very excited. I knew all of the songs he played and i really enjoyed the set.
Next Twin Atlantic came on and we knew they were about to come on stage because Bohemian Rhapsody began to play. The lights were flashing and the crowd were cheering excited for the entrance of Twin Atlantic. Their set mainly consisted of their new album ‘Free’ but they played a few songs from their other albums too! If you want to read more about Twin Atlantics ‘Free’ album click here because i wrote a post last month about it.
“I think i just needed a rush”, I love these lines in their song ‘Yes i was drunk’ because they really suited my feelings during the gig. I love seeing bands live precisely for this reason.
More about Twin Atlantic:
Originally from Glasgow, the band members of Twin Atlantic include: Sam McTrusty (Guitar/ Lead vocals), Barry McKenna (Guitar/ Keyboard/ Cello/ Backing vocals), Ross McNae (Bass/ Keyboard/ Backing vocals) and Craig Kneale (Drums). They have had a very successful career so far and therefore have had the opportunity support many high profile bands. They have supported Aereogramme, Circa Survive, Biffy Clyro, Finch, The Fall of Troy, Thrice, Say Anything, The Smashing Pumpkins, Blink 182, The Gaslight Anthem, Taking Back Sunday, My Chemical Romance, Angels & Airwaves, Enter Shikari, The Subways, The Swellers, and You Me At Six. Through these support roles and several headline tours of their own they have built a strong and ever-growing fan base.

Hello again, my dear old friend
On Tuesday the 9th October 2012, I went to Norwich Waterfront to watch the amazing band Young Guns perform for the first time.
We (Me and my Dad) walked into the venue and the atmosphere was amazing, although I had not heard Marmozets before I enjoyed nodding along to their set, and then came Your Demise. As soon as they appeared on stage an explosion of energy came too! I cannot say I love their music but they definitely got the crowd ‘going’. We Are The In Crowd were the only support I had previously listened to and had heard of before, and I was particularity looking forward to their set. Despite not playing my favourite song they were really great and got me in the mood for Young Guns to come on.
By far an amazing experience I shall never forget, this gig was great!

Their set mainly consisted of their new album ‘Bones’ (which I still to this day absolutely LOVE) but they also played a few songs from their other album ‘All our kings are dead’.By far an amazing experience I shall never forget, this gig was great!

Free
Free is an album written by a Scottish band called Twin Atlantic who formed in early 2007.
The album is about being free (of course), taking life one day at a time but also living life to the full! The album artwork is what truly interested me because I discovered that each picture is part of one of their songs in the album. For example, I believe the gas container is a take on the song ‘Free’ named after the album because the lyrics include; “I set my body on fire so I could be free”.
In my opinion this is such a great album and I really do love listening to it, especially when I am in a bad mood because it never fails to cheer me up. My favourite lyrics are all on the image below which was cleverly placed into the outlines of the artwork.
