Days Divide

Artist Information

Biography

Days Divide formed in the Fall of 2008 out of the remains of several previous bands. They recorded their first full-length CD with esteemed Christian producer Travis Wyrick (P.O.D., Pillar, Disciple, 10 Years, Since October, etc.) and released the album, "Aurora," in early 2009. "Aurora" delivers a combination of hard-hitting guitars, passion-filled lyrics and soaring vocal melodies that make for 35 minutes of audio elation. Their audience-engaging live performance is an energetic and flowing display of their excellent musicianship and their passion for their fans, their message and their music. It is an experience like no other. Days Divide refuse to give in to trends, and their drive to reach audiences all over the world has already taken them to perform to ecstatic German crowds in the Fall of 2009. Days Divide's relentless pursuit of sharing their musical message with the world will end at nothing, and they won't stop until they've taken their song to the "Edge of the Earth" and back again.

  There are some indie bands that deserve attention from music gurus, avid fans, and labels looking for a great investment. They are a cut above the rest due to their mature sound, high recording quality, and mature songwriting.
  
  Apparently, Lexington, KY has been hiding hard rock act Days Divide for a little over a year now. Since forming in 2008, they have toured Germany, played Hot Topic stores, and opened on spot dates for 12 Stones, Run, Kid, Run Fireflight and other Christian rock bands. They recorded their first album with producer Travis Wyrick (P.O.D., Pillar, Disciple), and released Aurora in early 2009.
  
  The album begins and ends with solid rock tracks, with never a boring moment. “All We Know” starts the energetic adventure. Within the first few beats, drummer _____ will get your toes tapping and maybe even your fists pumping. Their music is heavy enough for hard rock fans, with choruses full of catchy lines to make every pop lover sing along. The best example of this can be heard on “Edge of the Earth,” which is arguably the best track on the record. The short guitar solo, imploring vocals and heavy drums all create a sense of urgency and anticipation in the listener.
  
  “Long Sleeves In Summer,” a track reminiscent of Between The Trees’ “She Is” takes a To Write Love On Her Arms approach at looking at self-injury. There are other songs on this topic in the Christian music world, but this one is certainly memorable enough to stand out. The poignant lyrics cut deep into the issue, and explores the girl’s heartbroken view on life and pain. “She discovered a way to ruin her life; she found relief in each red strip…She ran away from those questioning eyes. Now she has to explain her long sleeves in summer.” When lead vocalist ____ sings those lines, fans can easily picture the story unfolding.
  
  An even heavier side of Days Divide can be heard on “The End Has Come.” The vocals and music are noticeably heavier – as well as in “Burn Away.” With aggressive singing and lots of electric guitar, the song also incorporates some well-placed screaming. The screaming isn’t too overbearing and adds just the right touch to intensify the message of the song. A little more than halfway through the track takes a different approach. The music lightens and offers a message of hope, “But redemption will come some day. You are not alone. Just waiting on your beating hearts to change,” before returning to the powerful vigor that was heard in the beginning. Aurora then provides a catchy closer with “The Getaway.” The last song is as good as the first, employing the guitar solos and even a second or two of electronics over the vocals.
  
  Overall:
  These guys are good – more than good. While some songs can be identified with other bands in the Christian scene, their catchy rock sound is still infectious and mature. With aspects of pop, rock, and heavier influences, their music has a little bit for everyone. As one of their songs states, “We’ve got nothing left to hide, it’s time for me to find out what I’m worth…” Well obviously, these guys are worth a second listen; maybe even a third, or fourth!
