Porridge Radio – Don’t Want To Dance

Porridge Radio bids farewell with their touching single, “Don’t Want to Dance,” the first track from their final EP, The Machine Starts to Sing, set for release on February 21 via Secretly Canadian. This marks the end of an era for the Brighton band, who have announced their split after a final round of North American and European tours.

The single is a bittersweet ode to endings, blending the band’s signature raw emotion with a sense of finality. Recorded during the sessions for their acclaimed fourth album, Clouds In The Sky They Will Always Be There For Me, “Don’t Want to Dance” reflects the introspection and catharsis that has defined Porridge Radio’s music.

The accompanying EP, The Machine Starts to Sing, is not a collection of outtakes but a carefully curated set of songs that hold a deep personal significance for the band. These tracks showcase Porridge Radio’s ability to channel complex emotions into starkly beautiful music, offering fans a final glimpse into the world they’ve created.

“This band has been our life; we’re family now,” the band shared. “These tours will be our last. Thanks so much for listening.” With The Machine Starts to Sing, Porridge Radio closes their chapter with grace, leaving behind a legacy of emotions.
