Embers and Dead Pretties both call it a day this week

Words: Alison Mack

As far as weeks go, this one has been a pretty dismal one for band splits.

After Wild Beasts started the ball rolling last month, announcing their breakup after 15 years, it seems to have spurred others on.



First of all, after six years and a raft of sonic tunes to their credit - including the new 'Drowning' and 'Until The Dawn' - Manchester's Embers announced the end of the road on Monday (October 16), posting this message to their social media:

Embers

Dead Pretties

Now today, we end the week with the news Dead Pretties have splitu - before many have even had a chance to get to grips with them.

“It makes us very sad to announce that Dead Pretties is no more,” they stated on Facebook earlier this afternoon.



It's been rather a short journey for the raucous London Pretties, only releasing their debut single, 'Social Experiment' this past February, followed by the more recent 'Confidence'.



Will we make it through to the end of 2017 without more parting of band ways? Watch this space.
