Bio:
The New Division is an alias of the electronic artist John Glenn Kunkel. With 2 albums and 2 EP's under his belt, Kunkel returns in 2015 with Gemini. The third full length album can be branded as an ode to his signature sound, which has placed The New Division at the forefront of modern new wave music today. These 13 songs feature an eclectic mix of sonorous guitar hooks complemented by synth leads eerily narrating times past, all the while remaining boldly in the present.

lyrics

Senseless
Written by John Glenn Kunkel

Riding on the fire
The flames can get real high
As you’re running down the halls

But you’re to blame
For lighting up the match
For fastening the latch
And putting in the call

Wasted money on the side
Sirens, whistles, all in line

Chorus:
These violent times (what’s happening?)
These senseless crimes (what’s happening?)

Seeing all the signs
Of a dream that will define…
But soon you will deny

And everything: the promise of the skies
You’re a victim of the times
A writing on the stall

Wasted money on the side
Sirens, whistles, all in line

Chorus:
These violent times (what’s happening?)
These senseless crimes (what’s happening?)
