Swimming Girls have split up
Bristol's Swimming Girls have decided to call it a day.
The band have announced their split after four years together.
They released their debut EP, Existential Fears, in June, and just wrapped up a UK tour earlier this month with VISTAS.
Revealing the news on Twitter yesterday (20 November), Swimming Girls wrote, "After four amazing years of working together as a band we have decided to split to follow new creative ideas. You have been the best fans we could have asked for, THANK YOU for your support!"
