Wellington rock band This Silent Divide arrived on the local scene in 2018 and meld driving drums, wall-of-sound guitars and melodic overtones to create catchy, high-energy songs.

The quartet featuring Shaun Jones (vocals, guitar), Kieran Williams (lead guitar, backing vocals), Jonatan Jaworski (Bass) and Sunil Jolly (drums) are known for their tight and powerful live sound that gets audiences moving.

2021 debut singles Lucinda and Don't Give Up from the Tall Stories EP received radio play on stations across the country.

The band has been playing regular live shows in 2023, including at the iconic Wellington CubaDupa festival, ahead of the release of their new single Beautiful Creature.

Beautiful Creature is commentary on society's desire to all-too-quickly write-off and punish people who lash out when pushed beyond their limits.

The well-produced, melodic rock song with big guitars and soaring vocals is being played on radio across the country, in the US, UK and Germany.

“We’re delighted with the enthusiastic response from radio in NZ and internationally on Beautiful Creature and can’t wait to play this monster of a track for fans at our upcoming live shows“, says vocalist and guitarist Shaun Jones.

The track was recorded at Wellington’s award-winning Surgery Studios, produced by Toby Lloyd (Sea Mouse, Hollie Smith, Shapeshifter) and mastered in Germany by Robin Schmidt (Placebo, Arctic Monkeys, Pixes, Royal Blood).

The official music video for Beautiful Creature will be released via an exclusive Juice TV Premier on The Plug at 7:30pm on Friday 2 June.

This Silent Divide next play live at Meow in Wellington on Thursday 1 June, with support from Secrets of the Sun and Dave & The Dirty Humans, to celebrate the release of Beautiful Creature. Tickets and details

“This Silent Divide have an anthemic approach to their music, and they often remind me of the mighty Dead Favours". They have again produced a neatly polished single packed with hooks and energy which is going to turn into a monster when played live. I can’t wait to hear that." - Kev Rowland, Muzic.net.nz

"This Silent Divide's melodies are insanely catchy, the drums hit so hard and the riffs are huge! They are definitely showcasing just how good Rock Music can sound in 2023!” - Toby Lloyd - Producer, Tiny Triumph Recordings
