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.
