Division Naperville, Illinois
"Comparisons to the Smoking Popes would be a no-brainer, but after listening to [Division] a bit more, it's apparent that
they are a bit better. Sure it's pop punk, but it's moodier and a bit more progressive, creating a somewhat newer being in a sea of similar-sounding bands following the same formula. Look out Alkaline Trio, Chicago may have a new favorite son."
