ANNOUNCEMENT: TROPHY WIFE SPLIT

Nobody is getting a divorce, but the Oxford band, Trophy Wife have just announced that they are breaking up, and what a way to announce it!! Here is the statement that the band issued via their Facebook...

"We know this has taken a long time but our debut album is now finished and ready. After exploring a few different avenues, we have decided that rather than wait any longer we'd like to share it with you and we want you to have it for as much as you'd like to pay. You can download it as of now over on our Bandcamp page:

We'd also like you to know that we're going to be turning our attention to making some new music after this which means we're going to be putting Trophy Wife to rest. We've lived and breathed this band for the last three years and it feels like the right time for us to move on after the release of an album we truly love and are all incredibly proud of.
We've also planned a handful of shows to celebrate the release. All the details can be found here: http://bit.ly/YTpHm5

We've loved this band so much and would like to say a huge thank you to everyone that has in anyway connected with our songs, videos, live shows and artwork and helped make this happen for us. There will be more music and news to follow soon. For now we hope you enjoy our album.

I was pretty speechless after reading this... I wrote about this band just a few weeks ago as a "New Discovery" and now I hear they're splitting up! I'm still in shock. I was praying they'd play at one of the festivals I'm going to this year and when I didn't see them on any line-ups I just thought "ah well I'll see them next year when they release an album" - HOW WRONG I WAS! Hopefully I'll get a ticket to their London gig (even though it's in the middle of my exams) but this is not an opportunity that I want to miss. 

Get their album for free (or any price you like) on their bandcamp page linked above and check the link on bandsintown (above) to see if they're playing a gig near you because this will sadly, most definitely be your last time to catch them. They will surely be missed.
