Following the loss of their record deal, A Divorce Before Marriage documents four years in the life of Leeds' I Like Trains as the band navigate a brave new world.
In 2007, five-piece rock and roll band I Like Trains were the toast of the music industry. They were signed and playing sold out tours around the world. A Divorce Before Marriage picks up the story five years later where, due to the decline of the music industry and a change in their fortune, the band are now in a very different position. Suddenly I Like Trains find themselves lost in a very different musical landscape as jobs, family and life start to take over, forcing them to question their childhood dreams and ambitions. Told over a period of 4 years, this is a coming of age story about a band stuck in the middle.
