Twin Atlantic’s Sam McTrusty answers your questions in Popstar Postbag
We gave fans a chance to ask Twin Atlantic just about anything they fancied and forced Sam to answer all of the Qs.
We know what you’re like, dear readers. We know you’re just as nosey as we are when it comes to our favourite popstars: that’s why we’re putting the power back into your hands.
Every month, we’re going to ask you to pull out your best questions and aim them at those unsuspecting artists. You don’t even need to pay for postage!
This month, Twin Atlantic’s Sam McTrusty has stepped up to the plate. Do his eyebrows have secret powers? What would he do if he wasn’t in a band? Now you’ll have the chance to find out.
In next month’s DIY, Marmozets will be taking your questions in Popstar Postbag. More details can be found here - but all you need to do is tweet @diymagazine with the hashtag #postbag. Simple as that.
Check out the answers to Twin Atlantic’s round of the Popstar Postbag below.
Sam, what is the secret behind your powerful eyebrows? @trippygum
Genetics. I woke up like this.
What is your next dream goal? @MareikeRz
Over head kick in the World Cup final against England.
Sam, what was it like recording the video for ‘Make A Beast Of Myself’ and trying to keep a straight face? @Falloutatsixx
Haha! This question even made me smile! It was a struggle at first but then I just pretended or “acted”, if you were, that I was Edward Norton and that I had to be a top drawer professional.
Are you a bit scared of playing somewhere as massive at The Hydro? Sean
I’m not sure if it’s fear that I feel… More the weight of the accomplishment. It’s been 8 years of playing every venue in Glasgow… from 5 of our friends to 10,000 people. It’s an excitement. Nerves for sure but not fear. I WAS BORN TO ROCK!!!!!
If you could be any animal, what would you be and why? Matthew, Leeds
A bird. So I could fly.
If you were not in a band, what would you do? @Paraguguns91
I’d be selling art to people with too much money.
What’s been your favourite memory from being on the road over the past few years? Anna
Seeing other people happy. The other guys in the band or our team of people behind the scenes having a ‘moment’ of appreciation. Hearing an audience sing words that I’ve written back at me with more passion than I can.
What is your favourite festival to play? @Paraguns91
Glastonbury last year was pretty special but as I am Scottish the obvious answer is T in the Park. To be Scottish and get to scream the festival name through a main stage festival PA to a field full of my fellow country men and women feels spectacularly brilliant.
Have you started to think about your next album yet? Janine
I started to think about it the day we finished ‘Great Divide’. It’s the way it works. The cogs have been turning for a while now. I do this thing where I try to distill the whole next vision into one word. I have the word… But it’s a secret.
What’s been your favourite album of the year so far? James, Edinburgh
There hasn’t been an album this year yet that I think I love. I do love some new music coming out and I’ve got a lot of new bands and tracks that I’m digging but no album has done that thing to me so far this year.
