Sure, it’s our job to give you new music recommendations. We’re employed to stay in the know, we’re supposed to be clued in by trade. But really, for the best musical tip-offs, look towards the people on the road. In this case, look towards Nottingham band Divorce.
Since 2021, four-piece Divorce have been busy. Like every up-and-coming band, they’re more often than not found piling into a van and hitting the motorway, racking up the miles going up, down, left and right, playing at the staple venues in the UK’s live music circuit, or even further afield.
They cut their teeth playing gigs, and so they got sharp alongside a class of other incredible acts. Whether chatting in green rooms as they share bills, or simple wandering around the festival, managing to catch other acts before their own slot, musicians get a front-row seat to the development of other musicians. Both in their own local scene in Nottingham and out of town, as they’ve been travelling around, Divorce have played alongside plenty of other risers and seen many more.
But even beyond seeing them live at gigs, all those hours on the road or seeking out inspiration during their times at home, it lends itself to discovery. As artists are constantly pushing forward into new stuff, naturally, they tend to be pretty keen on new music.
So don’t ask us, ask them. Cornering Divorce ahead of their set at All Points East in the summer, we asked them to do our jobs for us and share their own tip-offs for the best new artists that people should be paying attention to.
