Random Thought #2: do you think Billy Mays types in all caps?
Some bands do not know how to market themselves. They just jump at the chance to release a record without knowing the first thing about the music industry and quickly get reduced to the used CD section before anyone knew they existed. Division Day is not that band. Instead of shoving themselves into the public eye before gaining an underground following, Division Day have done the opposite. They have spawned from Jonah Matranga's 'OLD Records' and started touring with bands like dredg, The Fratellis, and Birdmonster. After releasing The Mean Way In, a haunting six-song E.P., they put together their first full length album; Beartrap Island. Division Day then toured the west coast which were followed up by favorable reviews and spawning a cult following reaching across the country. Now, Division Day is re-issuing Beartrap Island on Eenie Meenie Records and pairing it with an east coast tour. But wait there's more! Division Day has been so kind as to give away free songs every week until the re-issue drops. The first song is a cover of the Sunny Day Real Estate song, 'Every Shining Time You Arrive.' Oh wait, I'm not done yet. For those who aren't as cool as me and know who Division Day are; I've posted two songs from their previous albums. Tell me what you think, you'll probably thank me, but it will cause no harm seeing it in writing. :)
(p.s. - I'll be posting all free songs Division Day decides to give away until Beartrap Island is re-released)

Division Day - There is No Telling from the album The Mean Way In out now!
