The start of a fun new era

Twin Atlantic are back following the release of last year’s Power with ‘Bang On The Gong’, the first single from a new chapter in the band’s career. The single comes with a variety show style music video which takes inspiration from Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, embracing a fun, tongue-in-cheek tone.

Like last year’s album, Twin Atlantic are merging their classic guitar-driven rock with more electronic elements, with some fairly intense insults thrown in for good measure. It’s a massive change from what we knew them for at the beginning of their career, but you can’t argue with how charming the new single is. It’s a great release for Twin Atlantic ahead of their UK headline tour later this year that will fit in perfectly with their high-energy performances.

Bassist and now music video producer Ross McNae spoke about the significance of the new song:

“Taking more than a little influence from a recent movie, the possible narrative of our video highlights the fleeting nature of success, while also shining a light on how far we’ve come as a society since those days. After eighteen months of turmoil is there any other way to play the visuals than to have fun and not take life too seriously?”
