Bio

The world is big and bounteous, but, let's face it, often menacing and really quite mysterious- and the times call for music prepared to deal with this beautiful mess. Thus, we have Division Day: a fitting name for a young band unafraid of leaping into uncharted musical terrain to challenge same-old rock's timid complacence.

The L.A.-based foursome's debut full-length Beartrap Island stands as a wildly diverse combination of both supremely hard-hitting and finely-shaded exploratory tracks.

It's a place that might, just might, refer in passing to the band's adopted hometown of Los Angeles.

Says Ryan, "There's a pervasive sense of isolation here [in Los Angeles]. We're surrounded by noise, or surrounded by people, or things, but we're alone. Underneath all of this, there's tons of things hidden and tucked away, and the diversity is welcoming at one point and scary at another."

Division Day songs, for which Rohner writes the lyrics, often feature strange creatures or bizarre characters, and lush, dense settings. "There's a host of natural phenomena in these songs," explains Rohner. "Bugs, jackals, snakes, trees, sparrows, crows, rivers, oceans, mud, fire, tar, blood.
