The Lyon, France based darkwave act Divine Shade have released a new song “Stars” (featuring Shan Moue). It will be part of a bigger musical project which will be announced in 2023. The band have just returned from a major UK tour supporting Gary Numan playing twenty concerts including the Wembley Arena in front of 12,000 people.

The band was formed by musician Ren Toner in 2014 and offers a combination of styles and influences inspired by cold wave culture with a touch of industrial and electronic music. They released two EPs and several remixes with Chris Vrenna (former Nine Inch Nails) and did 3 European tours.

Why we ask

Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.
