UNiTY & DEViSiON ARE PUNKY FOLK WHO ROCK

About Me


UNiTY & DEViSiON - the punkfolk/ska four-piece from London serving up bitter-sweet lyrics with music that’s raw, edgy and ringing with heartfelt harmonies...
U&D are looking forward to a sizzling Spring into 2008, with new songs and even more in-your-face hooks and lyrics.
We’ve re-introduced the ever-popular onstage costume changes again- an exciting visual feast!
We’d like to introduce our new bass player, Jason "Rollin" Rivers, who we’ve recently hooked up with. He’s pretty good- played bass on the European leg of AMP’s 2006 tour. He’s really fitting in well and we’re looking forward to the roller-coaster mad ride that is U&D. We don’t know where this mental twisting, swirling ride will take us. we will keep you updated on all the twists and funny turns. Rivers’ first foray into providing the kickass low-end frequencies to our music was at the Bedford Arms on 24th Feb 2008- check out our gallery for pix.
U&D have had a busy year in 2007, playing at many festivals over the summer, one of the highlights being the BIG GREEN GATHERING, where U&D played seven gigs in five days. The gig at BONKERSFEST was a blast too, as well live interviews and perfomances on-air including the BBC.
Following a monumental performance at the Liberty Festival in Trafalgar Square, Unity & Devision were highly praised by the BBC for their track “SUGAR”.

Influences: the media, drugs, sex, alcohol, love, mischief, pixieness, flowers growing from cracks in pavements, efluences. The band may or may not necessarily involve themselves in any or all of the above- they're just reference points.

we're inspired by truth, honesty and stories of victory through pain.
and loud music. but only if it's not on crappy speakers. and not too loud, mind- we often send sound limiters straight into the red!

between the four of us there are too many musical performers too start listing, suffice to say that we love all kinds of stuff and don't rely too heavily on trying to sound like our fave musicians, otherwise we'd end up sounding like something we're not.

wot's 'real' anyway?
