Scottish alt-rock band Twin Atlantic are the newest addition to this year’s increasingly exciting line-up at Perth Festival of the Arts next month.
Their headline show will take place at Perth Concert Hall on Friday, May 27.
Perth Festival of the Arts is an annual 10-12 day May arts festival, founded in 1972 and this year celebrating its 50th anniversary.
Hot on the heels of their new album ‘Transparency’ released in January, Twin Atlantic embark on a fresh run of May 2022 shows to celebrate 10 years of their career-changing ‘Free’ album.
The band has already delivered a triumphant UK tour earlier this year, with two sold out shows at Glasgow’s iconic Barrowlands ahead.
“Transparency is Twin Atlantic as you’ve never known them. Ten candid, funny, funky songs find frontman Sam McTrusty spilling his guts on everything from marriage, male friendship and the absurdity of social media to parenthood, medication and his mum,” explained their promotional team.
“Written in strained circumstances and recorded remotely with Sam’s mate and mentor Jacknife Lee, the album arrived more by accident than design when the world went into lockdown last spring.”
Sam said: “After the challenges put in front of everyone in 2020 and 2021, I did what I’ve always done in moments of turmoil, stress or anxiety and started to write songs.
“It slowly evolved into an album and something we feel puts a new stamp on our band which really excites us.”
For an album made quietly in lockdown, Transparency is begging to be played loud and live.
