Twin Atlantic stopped by Philadelphia, PA on their recent US tour with You Me At Six, The Swellers, and We Are The Ocean. PropertyOfZack was lucky enough to film a great Session with the band performing a stripped down version of “Free.” Check out the Session below by clicking “Read More!”

Florida Vampires. 

Here’s what I know about Orlando from the 4 times I have been here now in my lifetime - twice on holiday to be abused by roller coasters and twice with the band to be a puppet on a stage….

  1. I know that it’s in the state of Florida, which uses orange juice as an energy source instead of oil and electricity. The oranges’ are so zesty down here that they have the same chemical property as petroleum. All homes are fitted with oranges instead of mains electricity. There’s enough kinetic energy created when rubbing two Florida Oranges together to light up a house for a month. Fact.
  2. The city is run by a consortium made up of three local businessmen: Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and a man known simply as Pluto. These characters are known to operate with very shady objectives to control a monopoly on the cities’ income. All three were implicated in the assassination of a Mr. John ‘Bugs’ Bunny some years ago but were let free in mysterious circumstances following new evidence submitted by one of Mickey’s call girls called Minnie.
  3. If you enter the city lines of Orlando you are not allowed to leave until you spend at least $5,000 in one of it’s ‘themed’ parks. These themes usually involve magic, adventure or animals. These parks may actually be thinly veiled fundraising/recruitment camps for the US military… having that much fun without having to take your clothes off must have a catch somewhere.

Twin Atlantic are currently out on tour with You Me At Six, The Swellers, and We Are The Ocean. The band has been kind enough to do a Road Blog for PropertyOfZack to keep fans updated, so check out the first update below and come back for more in the future!

From Twin Atlantic:

It was back to the US of A, armed with only our wits and over $23,000,000 in forged notes. About enough to buy our own mansion on wheels, which is of course man’s ultimate dream. It narrowly beat ‘pizza tester’, but most modern mansions come fitted with their own ‘pizza cave’ anyway so you get the best of both worlds. Unfortunately I managed to lose $22,999,950 as I walked past a drain just outside Heathrow airport. I don’t know how it happened, especially because they were all one dollar bills. But they just kept falling in the drain one after the other. I’d try to save one and ten more would slip down, this went one for about an hour until I finally figured out how to stop it was by moving away from the drain. By this point I only had 50 dollars left, barely enough to buy even an old rubbish mansion. Definitely not one with wheels and a pizza cave. I thought about trying to pry the drain open to rescue a couple of million, but I remember being told as a child that alligators live in sewers and I know that those guys can really do you some damage. So the money was gone, but I still had my good looks - so not all was lost. Unfortunately, as I walked through the revolving doors into the terminal building an untamed cheetah had managed to escape from it’s masters shackles and decimated my face beyond recognition. A bad start to the trip. 

After stitching up my wounds with some spare shoelaces we checked in and waited around until we could board our first flight to Toronto. In the waiting lounge, myself and Barry saw a boy who had the build of an adult but shrunk down. He couldn’t have been any older than 6. It was truly disturbing. On the plane I watched Moneyball and Contagion. Moneyball was very good, Brad Pitt was on fine form - at one point he throws a big drinks cooler over, very exciting.
