You can’t judge a book by looking at its cover. Right? But wouldn’t it be easier if you could? Sometimes we like to know what we’re getting into whether it be a book, movie, or band. The New Division are here to help. The name immediately conjures a mix of post-punk and new wave–most likely sources: Joy Division and New Order. Fortunately this is what you get. The California foursome implement an electronic sound around a post-punk style creating fantastic results. Their Rookie EP was released earlier this year to critical acclaim due to stellar tracks like “Starfield” (below) and “No Health“. Now they are unleashing a full length entitled Shadows. Check out “Opium” from the new album and head to their bandcamp site HERE for more. If you like the name, you’ll like the band.
