THANKS // PLANS

So yeah, 2012 was a pretty nice year for us! Having the very excellent Night School Records release our debut album was a big big BIG deal, so for that we are massively grateful!

Huge thanks to the people who have actually bought the thing too, who have come to see us play and generally make it possible for us to keep doing more of the same stuff - 2013 is looking to be just as busy, if not busier than 2012, which is great!

Our first gig of 2013 will be in Glasgow on Saturday February 9th, playing the TYCI club night at Bloc, then soon after that we'll once again head down south to England as well as also returning to Europe from mid-March to early April, with dates in France, Germany, Austria and Holland all on the cards. Exact shows are still being finalised right now, but when everything is sorted we'll post all the info here!

To coincide with our tour Night School will be re-releasing our album as a limited edition double CD, the first disc being our 2012 LP and the second disc will compile all the songs we released on various singles and EPs through 2011 and 2012. None of this music has been made available on this format before and it will be limited to 500 copies (we'll still have vinyl formats of our music available on the tour as well)!

We wish you a happy new year & expect more news very very soon!

NOVEMBER REIGN

Now that Facebook has started it's Myspace-like decline into obsolescence, it's probably a good time to start using this blog a bit more frequently (we've also got a Twitter page should you feel so inclined).

Last month we played two truly fantastic shows, both at Nice'N'Sleazys (their new PA system is just FEROCIOUS!), firstly with the absolutely mind-blowing Doomsday Student (former members of Arab On Radar, Chinese Stars & Athletic Automaton) and then with Glasgow's own riff-monsters Holy Mountain. Thanks to them, to Sleazys & to everyone who came along!

We've got one last show planned for this year, it's happening on Sunday November 18th at The Old Hairdressers on Renfield Lane, Glasgow. Also on the bill are German dada-doom-duo Honig (who we had the pleasure of playing with in Munich last year) & The Modern Institute. Doors are at 8pm & it's £4 in. A practically redundant Facebook event page can be found here.

Lastly, a quick reminder that our recently released debut album is available on purple or green 12" vinyl with download code from Night School Records and digitally from our own Bandcamp page.

AIDS OF SPACE VIDEO HEADFUCK

We've had a video made our track "Aids Of Space" by the insanely talented Sofia Stavropoulou. This is one seriously glorious, majestic headfuck of a video & we're absolutely honoured to have had our music soundtrack such retina-assaulting visuals, so don't say we didn't warn you!! P.S. for best results watch on full screen!!

THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH SOFIA!!!!!

The song features on our debut album which is coming out on September 17th on Night School Records. You can pre-order it now HERE

ALBUM FUNDRAISER

We're extremely excited to announce that we'll be recording our first album next month, with the excellent Night School Records releasing it in the summer! We've been writing new tracks for it since late last year and it's sounding pretty sweet so far, expect some rather brutal next-level shit!

We're going to be playing a fundraiser gig on Friday May 11th at The Old Hairdressers on Renfield Lane (opposite Stereo) to help with the cost of recording the album, as basically we're skint.

Also on the bill and aiding us in our attempts to raise the appropriate bank are our lovely friends Ben Butler & Mousepad, Ultimate Thrush, The Cosmic Dead and Ex-Servicemen (a new outfit featuring the noise talents behind Ship Canal and Small Scale Collisions)

It's £4 in and will kick off around 8pm - here's the fuckbook event page which has all the same info on it.

Hope you can pop down if yr in the area and help out a bunch of broke-ass punks! The world needs a Divorce album now more than ever :)

DIVORCE / JAILHOUSE FUCK SPLIT 10" RELEASED TODAY

We have a new record out today!
It's a split 10" with the awesomely ferocious Jailhouse Fuck, released on the excellent SixSixSixties Records. Only 250 copies will be pressed so it's hyper-limited, pick up a copy from the SixSixSixties Bigcartel before it's too late. Glasgow residents: there will be a very limited number of copies available in Monorail within the week.
The songs from our side of the split are also available digitally at our Bandcamp page.
We're finalising plans for some March shows around England with our old friends Ultimate Thrush, plus we should have yet another 7" ready for release by then too! More news on all that very soon.
