The Divisions are an indie rock four-piece hailing from London, formed in 2019. With a sound that blends the best of Britpop, Grunge, and 00s Indie rock. Drawing inspiration from iconic acts like The Smashing Pumpkins, Oasis, and Foo Fighters, The Divisions are looking to be discovered for our high-energy performances and heartfelt lyrics.
The band’s origins trace back to university halls, where Jim Talbott (Vocals/Guitar) and Will Oliveira (Lead Guitar) discovered their shared love for Rock and Roll acts such as Oasis, Jimi Hendrix, The Ramones, and The Smashing Pumpkins. This mutual respect and love for classic rock inspired them to start writing primitive bedroom demos, with the vision of forming a band.
As their ideas took shape, Oliveira brought his bartending colleague Ben Phillips (Bass Guitar/Backing Vocals) into the fold. Following the departure of their original drummer, the band posted an online ad seeking a new powerhouse behind the kit. Reece Godfrey (Drums) was the first to respond and impressed the group during his first practice session. With Reece on board, The Divisions began to refine their early demos and develop their unique sound.
