Much-loved Scottish indie pop group The Spook School are set to part company at the end of this year.
The band emerged from the DIY communities that form the Scottish underground, and have built a singular, often inspired discography.
The Spook School's 2018 album 'Could It Be Different?' was nominated for the SAY Awards, and it's well worth dipping into.
Sadly, it's come time for the band to call it quits, with The Spook School arranging a final UK tour for August and September.
In a statement the band explain:
We started as friends and we are ending the exact same way. We still love each other and in the future we will continue to work together on creative projects but real life has a habit of getting in the way and eating up time and energy. We just can’t devote ourselves to the band the way we want to anymore and we would rather go out with a fanfare than let The Spook School drift quietly away.
We have achieved so much more than we ever thought possible and we are so, so grateful for everything we got to experience. We have met so many people and seen so much of the world that would have remained hidden from us if it wasn’t for this band.
So, here are the final shows from The Spook School – let's pack 'em out!
