DIVVISIONS was formed in early 2016 when singer/guitarist Nik Farr left a previous project with the intention of starting a band to support his own individual vision. He posted a self-recorded demo of the song "Starcrossed" online, seeking feedback. Drummer Rod McCarthy and bassist Sean McLaughlin quickly responded with a view to participating, and the three met for their first rehearsal that February.

The chemistry was undeniable as the trio blended their common influences, and amassed a full set of original material fairly quickly. Almost 12 months to the day that DIVVISIONS began practicing and writing together, the group played its first live performance.

The band's now-established sound draws from New Wave and post-punk aesthetics, filtering classic alternative through a modern pop sensibility. In May 2019, DIVVISIONS released their debut EP, "Surrender." The anthemic title track was recorded at Woolly Mammoth Sound in Waltham, MA and co-produced by Farr and David Minehan (the Neighborhoods, the Replacements, Paul Westerberg, David Bowie) and mastered by Frank Arkwright at Abbey Road Studios in London, UK. Farr self-produced the rest of the album.

"Surrender" positions the group as an act to watch within the New England music scene.
