LEE KNOWLES: Vocal/Lead
Guitar
JOHN WRIGHT: Drummer
LEIGH McGOWAN: Bassist
An incredible set up with a Scot and two Normanton Lads who met only
by chance. After
quite a few get together’s home and away, the Bassist only knowing
‘Peaches’ (The Stranglers) and John (the drummer) living 200
miles away, quit
jobs to follow their passion of forming a band and in 2016 The
Sound Divide was born.
A group made up of self
taught, clearly talented musicians who have devoted themselves
to creating a unique sound. Individually innovative and together
create a positive and
polished sound. Who
inspires them, classic groups such as The Who (the drummer is in
John’s term,
just simply the best), The Doors, Led Zeplin (a favourite of Lee’s),
The Kinks and of course
The Beatles. More modern influences range from Oasis,
Coldplay, Nirvana, Muse, Black Rebel Motor Cycle Club, Reef and so
on. The influences are
vast, however, as far as putting a genre on The Sound Divide,
it can only be said that they are very original with a rock and
atmospheric feel to
their music.
An inspirational sound from the unknown of Lee Knowles, kick’s
into masses of
creative material that makes The Sound divide what they are today.
Sweet but raw
sounds produced by a three piece that ‘seep into your mind and
stay there’
(David Pickersgill, Wakefield Express reporter). ‘Sound
outlined by a sound divine, A
greater sound of all our minds, Divide
that noise throughout our time, What
is left is a Sound Divide’ John
Wright (The Sound
Divide drummer)
Since The Sound Divide was created, numerous gigs have been
thoroughly enjoyed
by a wide range of audiences who appreciate fulfilment through
listening to a great
sound. A variety
of venues have experienced The Sound Divide from Manchester Roadhouse,
to Edinburgh Liquid Room and many more. They have experienced the
feeling of playing to
thousands and have won battle of the bands proving they
are one band to be watched!
