Scotland’s finest alt-rockers Twin Atlantic have released ‘Get Out’, the fourth cut from their new album Meltdown - out on August 9 digitally and September 13 on physical formats on the band’s own label, Staple Diet Records.
A straight-up, anthemic rock banger, ‘Get Out’ is Twin Atlantic at their guitar-driven best; loud, infectious and ready made for festival stages. “‘Get Out’ was one of the first out and out rock songs we had written for years. It was the real catalyst for the whole album to be honest,” lead singer Sam McTrusty said of the track.
“It came together so naturally and made us realise that it was definitely the right time to revisit that sound. It feels like a real anthem and hopefully people can take away the positive message behind the inspiration for the song. A wake up moment. Act now, think later. Get out of your own way.”

Produced by McTrusty and bassist Ross McNae and mixed by longtime collaborator Romesh Dodangoda, from top to bottom Meltdown is a return to form for the band. Eleven slices of infectious, masterful pop-rock, Meltdown is equal parts guitar heavy bangers and emotionally driven heartfelt anthems. With one foot firmly in nostalgia, while wholeheartedly looking to the future, Twin Atlantic are back to their very best.
“Over the last 18 months we have been relentlessly obsessing over the making of a new album. We built two studios to have our own freedom and space to dig deeper into the essence of our band,” Sam said of the recording process. “That freedom evolved into engineering and producing the album ourselves. Zero outside influences. What we’ve got in the end is something we are so proud of and feels like our best work yet. The time felt right to revisit our roots and dive back into the big chorus’s and massive guitars that shaped our band’s early years, but obviously having lived life and toured the world since then we found an evolution of that sound.”
Now onto their eighth studio album, Twin Atlantic are well and truly veterans in their field. With countless huge tours and two top ten records in their armour, Twin aren’t stopping anytime soon.
After a run of Scottish headline dates in May, the band will head out back out on the road this winter for a string of UK headline dates in November. Kicking off at Boilershop in Newcastle on November 7, the tour will see the band play London’s Brixton Electric on November 14
