Twin Atlantic Are Up To Something?

As you may or may not be aware Twin Atlantic have been being cryptic again, which always tends to mean new music and we did get it.

It came in steps, but we got what we all wanted.

So if you're unaware Twin Atlantic are an alt-rock band from Glasgow, Scotland. They're my favourite band, I have so much love for them, and their last album was released on the 9th of September 2016, so this has been a long time coming. I've been waiting so long for the new Twin Atlantic era.

For a week, Twin was being cryptic, which is what they always do when new music is on the horizon. For the week starting the 7th of October, they started posting cryptic videos all with a different number.

It all manifested on Friday the 11th of October when they posted that the new song was called Novocaine. That was when the numbers started making sense, if you were to type out Novocaine on a keypad on a phone, the number it would produce would be 0668622463. They then posted a link to their website, and if you typed in the number you heard a small snippet of the song... easy to say I did this a fair few times because new Twin Atlantic was what my heart needed. From those few seconds, I knew I loved the song. It was incredible, Sam's vocals were so powerful and Twin had not changed their roots.

On the 15th of October, they announced that on the 17th the new song would drop, and boy was my heart ready for it.

When Novocaine dropped I felt my soul leave my body because I'd waited so long for it and it had proved to be worth it. In my opinion, the song was a mixture of all the previous albums combined into 3 minutes. It even beat The Chaser for me, although that will always be a cult classic in my opinion. Twin Atlantic proved that the wait was worth it.

They also annoued a UK tour in which I should hopefully be going to and crying my eyes out because it's been so long!

Demon on the Run by Four Thousand Miles

After what feels like forever (when in reality it's only been 6 months), Four Thousand Miles are back! Because it's been so long, and I know over the past few months there's been a big increase in the traffic to this blog, and there are new readers, let me just give you a brief recap on who 4KM are! Four Thousand Miles are an international rock band, and their name comes from the fact that between Alex M and Lionel there's 4000 miles! The band consists of; Alex F - Vocals and guitar Lionel - Guitar Alex M - Drums Liam - Bass They now have 3 tracks out, Lonely, Reflections and the brand new track Demon on the Run! For anybody that cares, Four Thousand Miles are my joint-favourite small band and I would probably sell a few organs for them, also will eventually get a tattoo for them when little miss rona decides to leave us all alone. Anyway, let's get into the thoughts on the new song! I was super hyped for this song to drop, and I just knew they wouldn'

The Only Way Is Through by Nautical Mile, A Year On...

So, just over two weeks ago, The Only Way Is Through turned 1! If you have no idea what The Only Way Is Through is, then it's Nautical Mile's debut album. I've spoken about Nautical Mile a lot, on my socials and on here. Nautical Mile is in my top bands of all time, they are incredible! They are such a solid band and I have so much love and appreciation for them. I love them that much, that I probably would order their merch, but I'm kinda worried about umm shipping costs and import fees, especially when I'm a student and not on a lot of money. This album kind of changed my life. It is solid, it is possibly in my top 3 albums of all time, and that takes a lot for me to say. I found Nautical Mile not long after this album was released, and I've been hooked on them ever since. It started with Wake Up, and now I just love every single song they've put out. The whole point of me doing this post is to reflect on how I felt about the album a year ago, and compa

Where To Start with Supporting Small Bands...

Hello, welcome back, or welcome if you've never been here before! Anybody that knows me, follows my socials and reads this blog will know that I am a massive fan of small bands. I don't like music snobs, I really cannot stand them, and it's really important to me for people to support small bands. Whenever I tell people I know, or on Twitter some bands to check out, I always say the same bands, I add to that list when I find new bands, but I don't talk about all them bands here on the blog. Therefore, I wanted to make a post, dividing up bands by genre, giving you some top picks of their songs, and telling you ways you can support small bands that actually mean more than just streaming their songs, as we all know it takes a lot of streams for a band to see any money from that. So, if you want to support bands, try and buy their merch. Granted, not all bands have merch that you can just order, but quite a lot of them do. If you can buy their merch, buy their merch.
