Scotland is producing some great bands at the moment, and this EP from Divide suggests that they could be amongst them.
Sure, their brand of bright, melodic rock is a little middle-of-the-road at times, but that can be forgiven for all of the flawless moments that make these five tracks so compelling. ‘Embers’ is surely a future staple in the band’s setlists with its catchy, life-affirming chorus, while ‘Sink This City’ features a powerhouse vocal performance from Nicole Mason – one of many. Put the occasional moments of déjà vu aside, and there’s no mistaking Divides’ potential.
