Anthology by The Great Divorce

The Great Divorce (John Schuettler, Chris Shann, and Brian Rothenbeck) began as a mess-around side project in a dark, sultry cube in a self storage facility in rural New Jersey. Initially, we only improvised everything; a song we played at practice would never see a stage, and vice versa. Eventually, we recorded "Kefka's Tower" and then broke up in order to focus our energies on our primary projects. A few years later, we decided to get back together, but this time actually WRITE some songs. Rob Carducci joined the band, and Schuettler left after we wrote and recorded "The Lackadaisical", "Be It Detrimental", and "Sinep vs Anigav". Then we decided to just go that route and wrote some harder stuff because, like, fuck it. Then we broke up again, but not after releasing a split with our friends No Silence (grimy, noisy, grindcore-inspired; a perfect fit) and embarking on a weeklong tour where at least half of the shows were canceled or otherwise fell through. All in all, it was one of the best times of our lives. Some years later, we tried to get back together again, but no one could remember the tunings we used.
