Description: OUT NOW: https://ffm.to/tnd_nosedive "Nosedive" is the latest single from The New Division's forthcoming full-length effort. Featuring soaring synths, driven vocals, and Cure-nodding guitars, "Nosedive" ventures into epic sonic territory familiar to fans of LA-based producer, John Kunkel. "Nosedive was inspired by the stock market's ups and downs, and how that could play out in a violent way. If I had to pin-point it visually to one film, it'd have to be American Psycho as the protagonist in this song is loosely based on Patrick Bateman," Kunkel states. "As long-time fans of The New Division might already know, I'm often drawn to lyrics that touch on the darker side of human nature. There's something interesting about how words in that context come across when paired with dark melodies." "Nosedive" is out worldwide May 13th on Division 87 Records.

Description: The New Division - Circles Download / Stream: newdivisionmusic.com Music & lyrics by John Kunkel All these things I draw into my circle Drain me, pain me, feed my isolation All these things I lock into my circle Strain me, stain me, ask for deprivation All things must die You got two lives to go Come down, to my way Feel my isolation Waiting all night for some kinda hope Waiting all night ------------------------------------- Bio Spearheaded by John Kunkel (vox/producer). The New Division is an LA-based tour de force. Influenced by a mix of new wave, progressive house, and techno, Kunkel has taken the tastiest slices of these genres and blended them into The New Division's signature sound. With a sound that feels comfortably connected to the past but with a momentum that fastens them to the future, at its core The New Division's custom blend of electronic adds tugging lyrics to each track, bringing satisfying emotion to the party. In early 2011, Kunkel felt they had 6 songs right and put out the highly acclaimed EP, The Rookie. It wasn't long after that he felt they had enough material for a full length, and in late 2011, The New Division released Shadows. This album generated a huge buzz. As more people put their ears to it, Shadows continued to climb up charts all across the US as well as internationally. Several music publications named the LP a top album of 2011. Now in 2019, The New Division is gearing up to release its fourth LP, "Hidden Memories" - Kunkel's most ambitious effort to date. Featuring 10 tracks ranging from dark and brooding to emotive and uplifting, "Hidden Memories" was produced and recorded in Los Angeles, CA. Pulsating with bruising basslines, dance-infused drums, and decked out atmospheric vocals, "Hidden Memories" serves as an homage to the music that has inspired Kunkel for the past decade. "I wanted Hidden Memories to be a blend of what I felt were the best parts of my early years as The New Division, a return to form of sorts," Kunkel says. "I picked up where I left off, back when I was listening to a lot of dance records ranging from progressive, trance, early new wave, and synthpop. The blend of all those sounds is what I envisioned for 'Hidden Memories.'" Longtime collaborator and co-producer F.J. DeSanto (Trade Secrets), also assisted on the record, "F.J.'s been a part of each album since "Together We Shine," and has always been a guiding force for TND," Kunkel said. "I tend to lose focus quite easily. I generally like everything I end up writing, but he understands what works from an outsider's perspective which I think is crucial from an objective standpoint." Accompanied by a group of live musicians, including Alex Gonzales (Drums), James Meays (Guitars), Danny Corrales (Bass), and Michael Janz (Keys) - Kunkel and his mates have embarked on multiple US tours, with several dates in both South America and Europe.

Everyone's dealt with the pandemic in their own way, but many of us are still picking up the pieces left behind for others to carry onward." "The song is also about myself in some sense. I spent several nights last year wandering empty streets alone, wondering where the world was headed and what the future held. 'Sequence' is equally about caring for others and taking better care of ourselves." Sequence is out worldwide March 1st, 2021 on Division 87 Records.
