Twin Atlantic have just premiered a live performance of the song "Time For You To Stand Up" from their recent sold-out home town performance at the O2 Academy in Glasgow, Scotland. The band reflected on the sold out performance, "It was a dream come true. I drive past that venue every day on the way to the studio in Glasgow, and I've passed it on the train at least once a week all my adult life. I always looked at the band names hung above the doors, so that makes it pretty special."
The band just wrapped up a West Coast tour with rising California favorites PK and will be performing at SXSW in Austin this week. The band will also be hitting the road on the Vans Warped Tour this Summer.
Twin Atlantic will be releasing their debut album Free stateside on March 13th. Free was recorded in Santa Monica and produced by Gil Norton (Pixies, Echo And The Bunnymen, Foo Fighters, Jimmy Eat World).
