Oxford-based quartet Dive Dive have reconvened in some inexplicable time out from their current job of being Frank Turner‘s band, dragging singer Jamie Stuart with them. They’ve also brought back with them their third, self-produced album, ‘Potential’ which is released through Xtra Mile Recordings (The Xcerts, Far, Chris T-T…) on the 17^th January and preceded by the single ‘Liar’.

Now, having had three years with three quarters of the band accompanying folk-rock trailblazer Frank Turner all over the world, their punchy post-hardcore has been refined and fuelled by a renewed desire to play together. As well as the release of ‘Potential’ next year, both of Dive Dive’s previous albums will be available to buy from your favourite digital outlets on 29^th November.

Since 2001, Dive Dive have been a growing concern. From their debut in 2005, ‘Tilting At Windmills’ came a barrage of positive press and fan adulation. The Independent, The Fly, Kerrang!, Rock Sound, BBC, NME and John Peel himself all fawned over their initial burst of high-octane energy. Their second album, ‘Revenge of the Mechanical Dog’, released in 2007, built upon their scathing riffs and stop-start dynamics.
