The Sheila Divine "The Middle Ages"

Aaron Perrino refuses to be beat. The Boston music scene veteran, who helms The Sheila Divine, has spent decades confounding expectations with songs that deftly weave power-punching political criticism amongst mundane daily frustrations, songs that expose purest grief alongside deepest love. The Sheila Divine's upcoming sixth album, The Middle Ages, is a deeply human document of everyday life. Across ten new tracks Perrind bares his soul and searches his heart in sons that navigate the wide gamut of lived experience: from the wrenching loss of his mother, through parental anxieties for his own children's wellbeing, to the strains of congested city life, fractured relationships, and rage at what his nation has turned into. "I refuse to live in a world where people trade empathy for apathy, curiosity for cruelty, humility for hubris."
