Breaking up the band, with Porridge Radio

When Porridge Radio announced that their new EP would also be their final release, following 4 albums and a 2020 Mercury Prize nomination, my first thought wasn’t ‘why?’ but ‘I wonder how that must feel?’. Followed shortly by, ‘what was Dana Margolin’s career highlight?’, and ‘should more bands split up at a point when their fans feel like they’ve still got more to give?’

Last week Dana agreed to talk to me about the end of her band, having originally decided that it was too soon to discuss the matter.
