• The New Division

  Californian electro outfit The New Division can already boast to having a band name that sounds instantly timeless. They have a great approach to making music and seem to be in it for the long haul as they compose considered and expansive pieces of electro. The quartet who cite the likes of Royksopp and New Order as influences have so far released two albums and have taken to the road to test the water with the ever growing fanbase.

  The intimacy of the venues suits the music well as they create a moody setting through the help of lighting and excess smoke. They run through the new album 'Together We Shine' in its near entirety with its curious hooks and shining production values. The quartet comes together well and work as a unit succinctly, the practice they must have invested ahead of their breakthrough is very obvious tonight. Finishing on a couple of tracks from the debut 'Shadows' allows the boys to show development as they have adapted 'Shallow Play' to include a new rousing outro.

• I've been a New Division fan since 2011 when a friend of mine recommended "Shadows." Lush backgrounds with incredible builds, soaring vocals, lyrics heavy with dark poetry - masterfully crafted songs. Since then, it has been great to hear their sound evolve; their latest, "Gemini," is fantastic. I like to sum them up as "Joy Division without the Joy" - while they have the synth components of their namesake, they bring a level of raw emotion that goes beyond those early days of darkwave. Their live shows are a lot of fun; they bring sounds, lights, smoke, dancing - this is no shoegazer band, and they bring a level of energy that's missing from a lot of modern shows. If you haven't heard any of their tracks, I'd recommend starting with "Opium" and "Shallow Play" from Shadows, and then "Eyes" and "Killer" from Gemini. You won't regret it.

• Awesome band! Awesome venue! Just great guys, super talented and extremely nice, they put on a great show. The whole band had great energy and even got to meet all of them afterwards, so glad we got to see them! Can’t wait till they come back through the East Coast!
