The news of a new album is enough to make TWOD fans jump for joy. It’s been three years since we’ve seen a proper release since 2014 “Lost In the Dream.” Listen to the expansive single, “Holding On,” below and try to be smitten with dreams of a much needed road trip and long summer days.

In further TWOD news, their October 14 date in Denver sold out swiftly. Not to worry. A second date has been added, October 15 with tickets going on sale 06/02 at 10AM via AXS.
