A LIGHT DIVIDED

Genre-bending band, A Light Divided burst onto the NC underground scene in 2007 and hasn't slowed down since. Blurring the lines of Metal, Pop, and Hardcore into a cohesive new sound, this group, made up of two groups of long time friends and local musicians - Guitarists - James Lewis and Eric Humiston, Drummer - Adam Smith, and Bassist - Mike Underwood , and New Jersey native, Vocalist Jaycee Clark, seek to redefine the term "post-hardcore".

In 2008 they self released their debut full length album "Before The Fall". Now, in 2010, they follow up with the new EP "For The Sake Of Change" and show the growth and focus that come with time and experience. For the band, "For The Sake Of Change" is a step out in a new direction and features production work from Tommy Church of The Autumn Offering and Tony Gammalo from Spider Studios (Chimaira, Walls of Jericho, Drowning Pool).

Praised for their live high energy performances, A Light Divided has shared the stage with numerous national acts including; August Burns Red, Mushroomhead, The Autumn Offering, Silent Civilian, In This Moment, Bury Your Dead, Powerman 5000, Eyes Set To Kill, and more. As well as being selected in 2009 as a winner in the Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands that gave them a spot on the VA Beach stop of Warped Tour 09 featuring A Day To Remember, Bayside, 3Oh!3, Underoath, Chiodos, and many many more.

Now, A Light Divided is taking it on the road. With a 3 week tour supporting "For The Sake Of Change" hitting 10+ states booked for Summer 2010, A Light Divided continues to expand their unique brand of Pop/Metal to the entire east coast.

Since then he has explored the larger spectrum of sounds and styles that had influenced him all along. James has also been a featured songwriter for several films including indie success The 27 Club, which he co-starred in with actor Joe Anderson (Across the Universe, The Crazies). Bass player Sam Branstetter, originally from Idaho, Started playing music at age 13. Sam played in several bands before eventually moving to North Carolina and joining Sleep Control in late 2009. Influenced by blues, metal, progressive, rock and roll, and funk, Sam has brought a great sound to the band. Last but not least, drummer Dave Marzetti has developed a love of orchestration and composition from his time spent in his school�s marching and orchestral bands. Dave has grown as a musician drawing influence from a wide variety of genres. Sleep Control have built themselves quite a fan base from playing all around the region and look forward to expanding and growing as much as possible. Sleep Control have built themselves quite a fan base from playing all around the North Carolina and Virginia areas.

speculation

andy@nclocalmusic.com (andy) — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 11:39:13 CST

there has been some recent speculation referring to our services and merchandise. We at NC Local Music assure you that all monetary gains from merchandise or advertising fees goes directly back into the support of the music community. Money from sales of merch goes into the printing of advertising of local artists, money from donations goes towards funds for organizing charity events, money from sale of benefit cd's goes directly to the charity. We like to thank everyone who supports the cause of bringing love of local music into the ears of those who have not yet experienced it, as well as into the hearts of those who truly appreciate and support the artists who struggle day in and out to make a living from the art of music. Please note that that any monetary income from this is solely for the greater good of loving music and to bring it to the public. -NC Local Music NC LOCAL MUSIC
