The Undivided formed in 2009 and since then have been making waves across the South Wales music scene and beyond with their anthemic brand of indie rock. Hailing from the South Wales valleys, they have gained a reputation as a blistering live act, delivering passionate performances that have swelled the ranks of their growing and dedicated fanbase.

Over the last couple of years they have gigged extensively over the UK, supported bands such as Ash and Excerts, played live sessions for BBC Wales and received great reviews for their live shows and 2011 EP 'Machines”

Second EP “Safety” was released the tail end of 2011 and 2012 shaped up to be a big year for the band with high aspirations. They recorded their  EP 'Safety' at Monnow Valley studios with Tom Manning at the helm and released to resoundingly strong reviews from sources such as Rock Sound, Kerrang and Big Cheese as well as video and radio play from NME, XFM and Kerrang TV. This prompted the band to be invited to play Merthyr Rock 2012 along with bands such as Razorlight and Kids In Glass Houses.

Now under new Management  and not a band to slow down, 2013 saw them invited to showcase at Focus Wales, Canada’s Indie week in Dublin, and Ponty’s Big Weekend Fringe Event. They're back writing in the studio working with Producer Romesh Dodangoda (known for working with Kids In Glass Houses, The Blackout, Funeral for a friend..) on the forthcoming album set for release March 2014. The boys will be releasing a single on October 7th 2013 as they play their first showcase at Norwich, Sound and Vision, they will be playing a run of shows in November TBC. They have also been awarded funding from the Welsh Arts Council to support the release of the Album.

This is a band that’s on its way and theres no stopping!

A few reviews already received for “Safety” :

"The Undivided have a knack for writing anthemic songs as big as the mountains that overshadow their hometown of Abergavenny" Kerrang Magazine
 
“The Undivided, delivering an onslaught of post-hardcore goodness” Rock Sound Magazine
 
“With the bands melodic anthems the future is looking bright for The Undivided” Big Cheese Magazine
 
"Don't Panic. The Undivided are here to Save us!!”  Plugged In Magazine

“Wingman guitarist Bray does a fine line in stadium trashing intros, and numbers like ‘Open Your Eyes’ and ‘Panic’ are immediately mesmerising. Singer Joe comes alive on these numbers too, as if he knows Bray’s scorching intros, a collision of U2, early Simple Minds, and SLF, are something to follow and indeed match." ArtrockerTV

A band driven by a desire to create the kind of noise people simply have to stand up and hear the most exciting, not to mention anthemic- rock act to emerge from South Wales in decades are finally here and not a moment too soon. Inspired by the political, message-heavy words of fellow countrymen Manic Street Preachers, the instrumentation of Idlewild, and the penchant for melodic pop sensibilities evident in the likes of Mansun and Peace, The Undivided make music that’s impossible to ignore. Soaring guitar chords launch from atop punishing riffs, shuddering bass lines carry the rhythms forward, and sledgehammer drumbeats underpin this combination of harmony and electricity. 

Hailing from the South Wales Valleys, the four-piece (comprising lead guitarist and singer Joe Disson, percussive maestro Rhydian Mason, guitarist Lew Bray and joining in 2014 Bass guitarist Craig Prosser ) formed circa 2010, born from the ashes of previous aural endeavors and built on the back of long-standing friendships. A successful meeting of minds, a period of incessant and relentless gigging followed, which saw them perform dates across the UK- including support and opening slots for Ash, The Xcerts, Kids in Glass Houses, The Dirty Youth and IDivide - with praise coming from Kerrang!, Rock Sound, NME and XFM, to name but a few. 

Their previous album ‘this New Day’ produced by Romesh Dodangoda, helped garn the funding support from the Welsh Arts Council, radio play from BBC Introducing Wales, BBC Introducing Radio 1, Nation Radio, Team Rock Radio, the hype is almost as big as the main-room filling tunes on the record. Thankfully, though, in this case it’s deserving, with The Undivided set to fulfil their ambition of breaking with the norm to deliver truly poignant, meaningful and moving songs through expert musicianship and devastatingly honest lyricism. They secured a sync placement for the instrumental version of ‘Headlights’ from the previous album ‘This New Day’ on the opening and closing credits of BBC 4 Royal Institute Christmas lectures, in December 2014.

US and Canadian College radio airplay followed which has already awarded them a CMJ radio distinction, donned them a place at Canadian Music 2015. Their exciting and energetic showcase performances earned themselves the support of US sync agents. The band returns by invitation to CMW in May 2016, as well as a place on Focus Wales.
