Today, Two Hours Traffic are sharing their first new single in…well, a while. In 2013 Two Hours Traffic played their farewell concerts after touring together for more than a decade. Five years later, in 2018, they quietly came out of retirement for what was meant to be a one-off performance, and have been playing sporadically since. Most recently, they performed a series of shows in Eastern Canada to celebrate the 15th anniversary of their album, Territory.
Their new single, “Keep It Coming” was written during a pretty tough year when ‘keep it coming’ became “a bit of a mantra, as well as a reminder not to worry about every little thing in the future and to trust that you will be able to deal with whatever comes your way,” says Andy MacDonald.
Liam Corcoran adds that the song has “the kind of arrangement we’ve tried to develop over the years, with lots of empty space on the recording and a focus on the groove and the rhythms. Our friend Dan Griffin (Teen Ravine) added keys and synths which ended up being the glue that made the recording really work.”

MORE ABOUT TWO HOURS TRAFFIC
Two Hours Traffic formed in 2002 at the University of Prince Edward Island, where they began carving out a space for themselves in the Canadian indie rock scene with their hook-laden melodies and sharp lyricism. Over the next decade, the Charlottetown-based band released four full-length albums and three EPs, steadily gaining a loyal following with each new release.
In 2007, their album Little Jabs earned widespread critical acclaim, including a spot on the 2008 Polaris Music Prize shortlist which helped to catapult the band into the national spotlight.
