Divided By Friday: Unsigned Band Video Spotlight

Divided By Friday - "Disappoint: Surprise" from Patrick Lawler on Vimeo.

I have to admit that I know almost nothing about Divided By Friday. But their video for their new song Disappoint: Surprise is one of the best unsigned band videos I've ever seen.  The video is directed by cinematographer/videographer Patrick Lawler (you can see all his videos on Vimeo here).

Divided By Friday's new EP will be released soon and was recorded by Paul Leavitt (see full discography) and John Harrel.  Disappoint: Surprise is their best song out of the three new songs on their MySpace and is a nice blend of progressive rock with pop punk flavor.  I can see them deciding on two music branches - lean more progressive and become an Equal Vision band or go more pop punk and land on Fearless (or screamo and land on Fearless).

The lead singers voice is slightly high but not in an annoying way.  Kinda reminds me of a younger Patrick Stump (Fall Out Boy) voice which is a compliment from me.

The band is geared to becoming a full-time band with a lot of touring in the future.  It looks like only high school was holding them back as their bass player recently tweeted:  "I'm about to take my last exam at Scotland High School today :)"


It will be fun to watch this band develop.
