Editor's note

A Life Divided's melodic rock with Chicago roots

A Chicago band that blends straightforward rock structures with heavier guitar work and dual vocals.

For a good sense of their approach, try 'Game Over' or 'Anyone'. They're both pretty representative of how the band handles themes of struggle.

They've built a catalog of melodic rock songs that tackle personal struggle without much ornamentation. Tracks like 'Game Over' and 'Cry For Help' show how they work within rock conventions while adding their own weight. Their music feels direct, which gives songs like 'Anyone' and 'Matter Of Sight' their plainspoken pull.

They formed in Chicago and released their self-titled debut in 2007, followed by 'Passenger' in 2009 and 'The Great Escape' in 2012. The lineup stayed mostly steady through a 2011 lawsuit that they eventually cleared. Their sound settled into a mix of rock structures and metal-tinged guitar work.

Archive material and source history

A Life Divided formed in Chicago with Jason Black on vocals, Kevin Jardine on guitar and vocals, Kyle Bishop on bass, and Scott Schoenbeck on drums. They released their self-titled debut album in 2007, followed by 'Passenger' in 2009 and 'The Great Escape' in 2012. Their songs like 'Cry For Help' and 'Game Over' show their approach to melodic rock with some metal elements.

In 2011, the band faced a lawsuit from a former member over accusations of mistreatment and defamation. They eventually cleared their names after fighting the case. The group has kept a steady lineup through most of their career, with Black and Jardine handling the main vocal duties.

Their music tends to work with straightforward rock structures while leaving room for harmonies and heavier guitar work. Tracks such as 'Matter Of Sight' and 'Anyone' reflect their interest in themes of personal struggle and relationships, delivered with a direct, unadorned vocal style.
