Four-piece Glaswegian based ‘Twin Atlantic’ already have a large fanbase frothing at the mouth at this new release. Having already received play on BBC Radio 1’s Rock Show, and a run as a trending topic of Twitter, the band are wasting no time in getting the single heard.
‘Edit Me’ starts strong, with a heavy riff and relentless drumbeat that really underlines the essence of the track. However, when the vocals come in, ‘Edit Me’ begins to falter. Although the instrumental is bold and full of charisma, it becomes over-powering to the point where the vocals are incomprehensible. It’s true that the Sam McTrusty’s vocals do have a certain quality to them, making it somewhat frustrating that they are not utilised to their full potential. Perhaps if they were, the track would be near magic.
Faults aside, Twin Atlantic are clearly capable of producing the melodies for a hard-hitting rock track. It’s a shame that ‘Edit Me’ doesn’t quite meet the standards hoped for.
3/5
