Artist Bio:
The New Division is an electronic band based in Southern California. Founded by John Glenn Kunkel in 2008 in the city of Riverside, CA The New Division began as a college bedroom project. In 2011 their first E.P., "The Rookie" was released and met with critical success. Shortly thereafter in the fall of 2011, The New Division released their first full length titled, "Shadows." Not only did this album contain a number tracks that garnered them a wider and broader fan base, but was also named as "album of the year" by several blogging websites.
In 2012 marked a new era for The New Division with their second E.P., "Night Escape." This album featured a collaboration with the Greek Balearic outfit, Keep Shelly in Athens. "Night Escape," marked a shift in The New Division's song craft as it featured lush-full melodies, and brighter tones. "Kids," the second track from this E.P. became an instant success, charting the number one spot on Hypem.com.
By 2014, The New Division released their sophomore LP, "Together We Shine," which was the culmination of two years of hard work and utter chaos. What was initially to be a follow up to 2011's "Shadows" was completely discarded, and a new vision that infused with trance, progressive house and an array of other electronic dance genres was appropriated in the project's signature sound. One year into production, John Glenn Kunkel's hard drive was completely shredded and all of his backs up files were error ridden-- he was back to square one. Frustrated, dejected and in the midst of abandoning the album, he decided to give the writing process one more try. This collection of 11 tracks, featuring appearances by Dave Keuning (The Killers) on Smile, Starflyer 59 on Honest, and Sarah (Keep Shelly in Athens) on England, is the realization of that endeavor.
Lyrics
I know you play with shallow lies
Your costumes are just a fur in disguise
We know your games your serial crimes
You take a woman by the neck to die
Your evil face will soon be mine
I know your feet are walking towards my eyes
I know the place where you reside
It's near the factory where you work at night
I'm not afraid of what you'll do
I've seen so many persons worse than you
You think you're brave, you think you're right
But you should know that you will die tonight
How is this not more popular?
Sh....the best ones are the least known. This song is so amazing though !

Qué artistas más infravalorados x dios, soy de Perú pero esta banda es ufffffff, espectacularmente buenísima, algún día vengan a Perú, aunque no crean somos pocos los que los escuchamos y apreciamos de la buena música, un abrazo enorme The New Division 💓
Eu amo essa música, top demais.
Such a unique and amazing group! Love it
Hey @The New Division, i love this song, is there any way you guys could make a music video out of this song, its very good!
would love to one day. just need to find the right person for the job!
yessss 🔥
although like your music, i just find it interesting that your music sounds kind of like Joy Division, you name is a combination of their first/second band names (Joy Division + New Order = New Division)...and your song is Shallow Play and Joy Division has a song called Shadowplay
Good observation but surely coincidence. They sound nothing alike. I'm not sure if you are insinuating a red flag or a bad mark against them for this or not but I think its up to the interpreter. These guys make beautiful music and deserve credit where credit is due. This is a flavor of music I have craved for years and they hit on the nail.. The New Division is and will always be ;)
Well said
You've cracked the code.
This song is so bad ass!! I'm super late but they should play this song on kroq
