Divided Opinions

Since Joolz's close encounter with the grim reaper , this Psychedelic folk flavoured gothic rock band have been brought back to life with an impressive stint of support gigs.the diversity of their music has seen them with acts such as Wayne Hussey, Miles Hunt, Fairport Convention, Phil Bates and Mik Kaminski, Hazel OConnor, Mark Chadwick and Midge Ure and have gathered new fans at every one. They supported the Alarm in April and have other prestigious support slots up their sleeves. They have also proved to be popular on the festival scene appearing at the acoustic festival of Britain, Hawkfest, Beautiful Days and others.
The folk roots run deep through Divided Opinions yet their sound has developed far wider ranging textures. Having survived the near fatal tag of 'next big thing,' this North London/Herts band continue to blend a diverse range of influences and styles. With subtle, rounded melodies, edgy guitars and heart-ache violin, Divided Opinions expose their raw musical arguments between folk and rock. The gothic edge reflects their experiences and their eclectic musical style appeals to most who hear them, gaining the respect of some of the most prestigious musicians on the circuit. Listen and see-and make up your own mindswhatever you decide, Divided Opinions are better than no opinions
The debate continues.



"Arrangements that drive when they need to, always uplifting, never throwaway. Very warm, slightly complex in an uncluttered way, intriguingly different."
Organ
"Mellow songs for mellow people, happy songs for happy people, worthwhile songs for worthwhile people."
Folk on Tap



"Theirs is a vibrantly commercial sound that offers a nod to the most successful roots and acoustic pop acts of the last decade, yet still maintains a real authority through solid and impressive songwriting."
Rock 'n' Reel
"A fluid fusion of folk pop. Not as contrary as their name suggests."
