Quickly assembling an impressive collection of songs about love, loss, and self destruction, The Divorced began creating a sensation in New England last summer. It wasn't long before critics and fans began to catch on to the group's lively blend of indie, folk, and pop. With plans to release their debut this Summer, the band continues to play extensively.
It has been a long time coming for an act that sprung up in the summer of '04 when singer songwriter John Ryan Gallagher formed the band with life long friends Juliet Nelson, Jason Anderson, and Matthew Kulik, all of whom had worked together on previous projects. Playing New England regularly and touring the U.S. in '05, The Divorced attracted guitarist and recording engineer Scott Chasse to the project. Chasse eagerly took on the daunting task of recording the debut album, "The Darkness and the Light." In the midst of tracking thirty plus songs over the course of two years, The Divorced reassembled the lineup into one which would stand the test of time, temptation, and soul. Former percussionist Evangelos Orfanos stepped in to play bass, while Anderson and Nelson continued to be contributing collaborators.
With close to seventy five shows under their belt in just one year, The Divorced plan to step things up even further this summer. The band will be busier than ever as they release their long awaited debut and begin recording their follow-up, "The Invisible Tears" which is due out later this year. A national tour is in the works in support of both releases this fall.
