OUT NOW! Reverbing Guitars and Thrashing Drums: An Absolute Belter Twin City share single ‘Simple Melody’
Straight off the bat here and with no preamble, Twin City are undoubtedly one of the UK’s most exciting Indie Rock ’n’ Roll bands on the new music scene right now.
Based in Bristol and consisting of Welsh brothers Louis (Vocals/Guitar) and Toby Ellis (Drums), Conor Feeney (Bass), and Pete Refson (Guitars), Twin City were formed in 2021 and wasted no time in releasing their debut single ‘Shake The Walls’ (August 2021) with an accompanying music video which gained instant traction receiving over 10k views on YouTube in its first week of release along with multiple airplays on BBC Radio and Amazing Radio UK & US.
The band’s second single ‘Looking Glass’ was released in May 2022 and was quickly picked as BBC Uploader’s ‘Big New Sound’ receiving a full week of prime time airplay on BBC radio.
2022 further saw Twin City release their self titled debut EP which contained 4 tracks including the previously mentioned single ‘Looking Glass’ plus 3 other tracks which further sought to build excitement amongst industry peers and fans alike.
Other notable timeline events include Twin City’s debut gig selling out in under 24 hours forcing a venue upgrade which also sold out 24 hours later and the band's second ever gig being as main support to The Lathums in front of a 1000 strong sold out crowd at Bristol's Trinity Centre.
Entering 2024 with a new found focus and even more determination to take the world by storm, March 2024 saw Twin City signing a record deal with the ever expanding indie label; Bubblebrain Records and in May of the same year they released the track - ‘I Feel Alive’.
‘I Feel Alive’ Was highly regarded in the industry by peers and leading figureheads such as Rodney Bingehemier on Sirius XM in America.
Twin City are now back with their follow up single ‘Simple Melody’ which is anything but a simple melody! With its reverbing, snarling guitars and thrashing drums from the very first opening chords, this is a massive tune full of sass and swagger aplenty.
The band have said of the track:
“‘Simple Melody' is about the power of music and how the right song(s) can bring us all together in spite of our differences. Inspiration for this tune were artists such as Lennon, Marley and Richard Ashcroft. With the world the way it is currently we need a bit of positivity and togetherness in music. Music can heal the world.”
‘Simple Melody’ was written and composed collaboratively by Twin City and was recorded at Orchard Studios in Bristol and was Mixed & Mastered by Joe Marsh.
With a string of sold out shows, festival appearances (including two separate stages at this year’s Isle Of Wight Festival), and high profile support slots, including shows with The View, Twin Atlantic, The Royston Club, The K's, The Coral, Bilk, The Lightning Seeds, Sea Power, Gallus and many more, Twin City are definitely a band worth keeping on your radar.
