The Great Affairs are about to drop a new EP in December, having undergone some significant lineup changes over the last year. For those of you unaware, The Great Affairs co-existed as an offshoot of fORMER, with fORMER representing a slightly harder pop edge, while The Great Affairs flew the flag for a somewhat more subdued, acoustic-driven side of the coin. Early in 2012, the decision was made to combine these two entities into a single unit, and simply proceeding under The Great Affairs moniker.

The Great Affairs have opted to call this one ‘4’, following up the 2009 ‘self-titled’ LP, 2010’s ‘Ricky took the wheels..’LP, and 2011’s ‘Happy Ender’ EP.
