ONE BRIT indie band has now revealed they’ve split up after massive fallout.
The group was originally formed in 2011 and one of their songs was chosen for the closing credits of the film T2 Trainspotting.
Fat White Family first came together in Peckham and now they have released their fourth album, Forgiveness Is Yours.
But despite the new music, it now seems the band are no more according to front-man Lias Saoudi, who is completing interviews on his own.
He told The New Cue newsletter on Substack: “I’m doing it all on my own this time which has been a new thing. It’s been alright, I try to not repeat myself too often.”
Die-hard fans might notice that co-founder and musical director Saul Adamczewski is absent from the new record.

He also declared that the working relationship between his band-mates Saul and brother Nathan Saoudi has completely broken down.
The vocalist confirmed: “There’s been a complete breakdown in that kind of original triumvirate of me, Nathan and Saul. That’s just completely broken down now.
“It broke down a long time ago with Saul, we resuscitated it for a bit, and then it broke down again, and then we resuscitated again, and now it’s absolutely dead in the water. There’s no love lost there anymore.”
The rock singer also said that the group had no ‘way of resolving conflict,’ and he slammed some of the experience in the group to be like “eating grass.”

“The alienation thickens and we just didn’t we didn’t have any way of resolving conflict,” he told the outlet.
“People used to give Saul the nod because he was the one with the cool references and the melodic sensibility, but after he was out of the picture it got to a point where you were just in this infinite psychological headlock.”
Lias added: “It sucked all of the life and joy out of it. It felt like you were eating glass. It was not like a pleasant experience.
“There were periods where it would explode forward a little bit and there’d be excitement and then I don’t know what would happen but it would get swallowed up in the ego black hole.”
Although, despite the difficulties he still insists the band were determined to complete the new album.
“I just think you have to finish, though,” he declared.
“You lose a member, you lose another member, you just have to finish. I think like that with projects generally.
“You can’t just flounce out on your own elaborate psychodrama that you’ve concocted. This is what you f****** signed up for.
“But here we are. It doesn’t make it any less egregious.”
