The Brighton band first announced their split in January, sharing the goodbye single ‘Don’t Want To Dance’. Their final EP, ‘The Machine Starts To Sing’, arrived the following month, and they announced a farewell tour in April.
They said upon announcing their split: “This band has been our life, we’re family now. These tours will be our last, thanks so much for listening. With love, Dana, Georgie, Sam and Dan.”
Earlier this month, they played shows in London, Bristol, Manchester and Leeds, before their final gig at Glasgow’s St Luke’s – check out shots from the show here.

Back in 2020, shortly before the release of ‘Every Bad’, NME spoke to Margolin. “It feels really good to have recorded something where I love how it sounds, especially after recording our first album in a shed,” she said. “There were a million things I wanted to do differently when it came to production. I wanted it to sound the way it sounded in my head, and I wanted it to carry the energy we have when we play live.”
About playing shows, she added: “I gained confidence in my abilities as a guitarist and as a singer from playing live,” she explains, “and I didn’t have any of that before; it was something I figured out as we went along. We all love that feeling of playing a show – that half an hour of being on stage, that magical feeling, that buzz, and just going for it – which makes everything else about touring really worth it.”
