Porridge Radio are breaking up. The one-time Band To Watch announced the bummer news today while sharing “Don’t Want To Dance,” the lead single from one final EP. That project, titled Machine Starts To Sing, will be out in about a month, and Porridge Radio will play out their final run of tour dates early this year.

The material on Machine Starts To Sing is left over from last year’s awesome Clouds In The Sky They Will Always Be There For Me. A word from band leader Dana Margolin:

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.

“Don’t Want To Dance” begins with the lyrics “It’s too late to try, but I’m not done trying,” which take on a bittersweet new dimension in light of this breakup announcement.
