Formed in Toronto, Ontario â though the friendships started many years earlier in Prince Edward Island â this band is most influenced by the simple sound of Neil Young and Crazy Horse and the playful spontaneity of the Kinks. Peter Forbes (guitar, lead vocals), Sheldon Kelly (bass, vocals), Mike Daley (guitar, vocals) and Mike Mella (drums, vocals) came together after years of working in different projects, happy to land on one that just felt right.

Their approach is easygoing and uncomplicated, reflecting a strong Canadian vibe. Forbes sums up the bandâs dynamic: âWriting with this band is different because itâs never a math problem. Itâs tall cans and good times and chicken wings afterwards.â

Pleased to release their first EP, Of Which Iâm the Master, after two years of performing live and writing music, the Northwest Division has a catalogue that doesnât try to be anything other than songs they enjoy playing. Songs with heart. And when asked about where theyâre headed, Kelly explains: âHopefully, weâre headed into peoples ears.â
