DIV/ORCE 7" SERIES

Not the bottom of the pile, but a pile on it's own, a handful of artists have stepped back to watch pop culture as it grows to the point of no control. Even Popular Cultures supposed counterpart, the force that once applied every ounce of it's being into not taking part, has now become it's own set of rules/restrictions.

These People are at the side lines to witness the struggle between the masses and the slightly less massive. They watch uncomfortably as the rebels burry themselves in new fashion and break themselves against the confines of their pigeonholes. The underdogs become a collection of ideals - at first a community based on the exchange of ideas between like minds - but soon they begin to design the look / aesthetic / sound / code of opposition, giving it a name and a dogmatic code and subsequently they become what they are fighting against.

This series of nine split singles is the closest thing to a documentation of those who have divorced themselves from said plight. For those blessed with the comprehension that underground art forms should not be defined, and any attempt to do so destroys the rebellious, untamed nature of such art.

The two sides of these singles are deliberately different from each other sonically. This is to illustrate the uncanny similarity in ideals and spirit between them. Like two spurs from the same mother, these artists are of their own, but together bring to light the idea of being on the outside of an ironic struggle - culture vs. itself.
