This isn’t just another album; it’s a proclamation, a battle cry from a band reborn, brimming with the raw energy and passion that first catapulted them into the spotlight.

In ‘Meltdown’, each track tells a story, from the tender acoustic strains of ‘Snow in Texas’ that echo the haunting beauty of Scottish ballads, to the raucous rebellion of ‘World Class Entertainment’, hinting at the gritty glamour of rock and roll. The urgency of ‘Get Out’ is a deliberate throwback to the band’s earlier works, making clear that while Twin Atlantic’s musical journey has broadened their horizons, their heart beats strongest when pumping out the high-octane rock that defines them.
