Damnear Divine

Music is a big business and making it big as a band requires some real business savvy thinking. For the members of Damnear Divine, music is fun, creative, and entertaining but it's also a serious endeavor. Realizing this, is what makes the band a force to be reckoned with.

It all started a year ago where these guys were in three separate bands. With their separate bands on the brink of dissolution, they decided to take their musical careers a new direction. They met up at an Olive Garden (Soup, Salad and Drumsticks?) and instantly jived. Later, when they were thinking of band names Beau came up with Damnear Divine; a tribute to their hard work and their goal to make nearly perfect music for all to enjoy.

They entered the XPOZ Battle of the Fans and earned their spot on the XPOZ stage this year at Extreme Thing. Since then, they have been working on writing more music and are currently in the middle of recording their first EP ("GFY" being one of the tracks on their EP).

Damnear Divine's music is a mixture of many sounds. Inspirations such as Yellowcard, Punchline, Taking Back Sunday, Tool, and Motion City Soundtrack all influence the way they create their music.Damnear Divine may be business minded but they also know that keeping it real keeps the people coming back. With lyrics that draw from personal experiences, the band makes their image and music relatable to everyday life

Damnear Divine is composed of 5 guys that are driven break out of the 'local.' Once they're done with their EP, their plan is to get it on all online music fronts (iTunes, Pure Volume, Amazon, etc) for the best price around: $0. In their words, "it's more important to get our music out there than make money right now." After recording, mixing and mastering is done, the next step is touring.  Don't worry though, they know where they're from and will always come back to the fans that got them started…here in Las Vegas!
