A live video of Twin Atlantic playing No Sleep at the Isle Of Wight Festival has been released.

The track is lifted from the band’s upcoming fourth album GLA, due out on September 9. It’s designed as a tribute to their home city, Glasgow.

Frontman Sam McTrusty said of the follow-up to 2014’s Great Divide: “Glasgow is where we come from. It’s laced in our blood, not to mention our art and vision. It’s bold. It’s in our voice. It’s time to embrace it and not work around it.”

He adds: “We’ve changed our approach to writing and recording. We turned the idea of a rock band upside down, conforming only to this one idea – to take back rock and roll, to give people something real again.

“You can’t get more real than Glasgow. We’ve finally made the album we wanted to make.”

GLA can be pre-ordered via Twin Atlantic’s official website.
