Biography
Seattles The Divorce has severed ties with the strict stylistic confines of the recent new-wave/punk resurgence to craft passionate, fully-formed rock music with a fundamentally danceable core. The four-piece will release "The Gifted Program" on Made in Mexico Records (Dolour, The Catch) in September of 2005.
The Divorce formed as a three piece in the spring of 2001. Kyle Risans post-punk informed drumming and Jimmy Currans growling, jumpy bass patterns combined for a hard-hitting but groove-laden rhythm section. Layered under Shane Berrys rigid, angular guitars and strident vocal delivery, and later Garrett Luncefords Moore-esque squeal and occasional full-on shred, The Divorce have found the sound to make them a favorite of the Seattle rock scene. The bands first record, "There Will be Blood Tonight," was released on Fugitive Recordings back in May of 2003. Lauded by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer as brilliant and as a must-have...5 of 5 by Alternative Press, the record gave The Divorce the chance to have since shared the stage with the likes of Built to Spill, Joan Jett, The Thermals, United State of Electronica, and many others.
After extensive West Coast touring and several notable festival appearances (Bumbershoot, Seattles Endfest), The Divorce is ready to commit its newly fleshed-out voice to record. "The Gifted Program," the bands first record since Lucefords addition, promises a more fully realized and beefed-up execution of "There Will be Blood Tonights" youthful propulsion and charm.
