Porridge Radio have announced their breakup, sharing a new song and detailing a final EP.

The band formed in Brighton in 2015, releasing three albums – 2016 debut Rice, Pasta and Other Filler, 2020’s breakout LP Every Bad, 2022’s Waterslide, Diving Board, Ladder to the Sky and last year’s final album, Clouds in the Sky They Will Always Be There for Me.

The band will release a new EP titled  The Machine Starts to Sing, featuring songs from the Clouds… sessions, on February 21. Its first single, ‘Don’t Want To Dance’, is streaming now.

In a statement about the split, vocalist Dana Margolin said: “This is the last new music from Porridge Radio and marks the end of the band. The songs on this EP are an important part of Clouds in the Sky They Will Always Be There for Me, and mean a lot to us. We are excited for you to hear them. This band has been our life, we’re family now. These tours will be our last. Thanks so much for listening.”
