Details:
There remains one true payoff for a musician -the release of performance. Chicagoâs Loyal Divide understands this well. To witness their live show is to witness a channeling of heaped aggravation; to hear them is to hear the musical approximation of fevered confession. Truly a live act, Loyal Divide knows how to produce electricity from frustration âfrustration with poverty, each other, and the road. The band looks forward to only one thing: leaving all the sludge behind for a brief moment of on-stage catharsis, in turn strengthening their bond and legitimizing their hard work. When not performing, the group goes subterranean, retreating to their basement, away from the outside world, socializing with no one but themselves and their instruments. In an effort to stave off boredom, the group has forever committed to developing their sound; something along the seams of the genres they adore most: Hip Hop, Ambient, Shoegaze, and Pop. Loyal Divide hope to eventually join the ranks of music's most forward thinking luminaries -artists like Animal Collective, Liars, and Radiohead- groups who push boundaries while captivating listeners, who trade in conformity for vision, licks for nuance. Of their self-titled EP, the Columbus Alive remarked that "the band's potential shows most in its attention to detail - a gleeful piano slide amidst a harrowing rocker, video-game bleeps coupled with hiccupping horns, a well-placed female backing vocalâ¦it sounds carefully considered and powerfully executed."
