Callahan Divide

This isn't the Callahan Divide you remember, they are back with a brand new sound. "Once we stopped making music that we thought everyone wanted to hear and started just making the music we wanted to make, we found our sound", states Garrett Bryan, co-lead of the four piece. After spending several years beating the pavement and playing the circuit, the guys of Callahan Divide have turned a page and essentially started fresh with a brand new attitude about their careers. Long gone are the days of worrying about fitting into a box. "Aliens & Ice Cream", the follow up single to "Stealer of the Day" which went to 27 on the TRR and "Pirate" that went to 18, written by co-leads G. Bryan and C. Fox takes the listener where they want to go which is anywhere but here. Colton Fox explains why this single and why now, "we felt with the current political climate and everything that is happening in the world today that is was the right time to release this song; it's simply put a 'let's get the hell out of dodge, turn it up loud and sing-a-long song', it was a lot of fun to work up and record and just as much fun to perform on stage every night". Fun, it is. Already climbing the TRR and CDX charts, "Aliens and Ice Cream" just a few short weeks after release is already in heavy rotation in multiple markets across Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico, and being spun in multiple states on the east and west coasts. "This song is a blast and my listeners are loving it", Craig Vaughn the Program Director of KPUR in Amarillo. He goes on to say "with 'Poplar', Callahan Divide has successfully done what all bands strive to do at some point in their careers, they've broken new ground, but kept their identity. From Country, to rock to blues, Callahan Divide does is all on 'Poplar', and they do it all without losing their own unique sound that we've come to expect. This is a bad ass album that will be on my year end top 5 list".

Callahan Divide hasn't just broken new ground they have crossed the line with their newest release. The line between who everyone expects them to be and who they really are. They have arrived with “Poplar”. A thirteen track rollercoaster filled with twists, turns, spins and a couple of loops. Spending the last 6 or so years touring Texas and the surrounding states, they've grown and matured beyond the limits of their West Texas hometown, these four guys have created what they have always wanted - a true reflection of who they are musically. You can call it Rock. You can call it Country. You can call it Americana, you can even call it Blues; they don’t really care what box you want to check, as long as you know they don’t intend to live life inside of a box. “Poplar” is the definition of collaboration, with three band members penning the tracks, two lead vocalists and all of the members arranging the tracks. The magic of the collaborative effort doesn’t just stop there. With Jon Knudson (Whiskey Myers, The Damn Quails & JTNL) at the production helm, Emotion Brown (vocals & tambourine) on two tracks, Cody Cannon the lead singer of Whiskey Myers (harmonica) on one, Hank Early of Turnpike Troubadours (pedal steel) on a few other tracks and you have something truly special. Finish that off with Casey Di iorio from Valve Studios in Dallas, (who’s credits include Bowling For Soup & Dave Matthews Band just to name a few) mixing the project and Alan Douches mastering (his credits include - Fleetwood Mac, Deer Tick & HaHa Tonka, just to name a few) and you have what some are already calling one of the best albums of the year. Callahan Divide sends a clear message with this album - they are here to stay and they won’t be playing by anyone else’s rules.

Callahan Divide's star is rising. Some may feel like they are coming out of nowhere, but they have been working and building on this album and their incredible live show for years. Download the new album and hear for yourself, these guys are going to surprise you and you're going to love every minute of it.
