<p>No strangers to the music scene of South New Jersey and Philadelphia, DIVE is a straightforward band of aggressive and melodic rock that compares to the sounds of Three Days Grace, Hoobastank and Fuel. DIVE formed back in 2004, taking time to create and focus their sound while playing local club and bar gigs around their hometowns. In 2007, &ldquo;The Truth About Us&rdquo; was self-released and eventually gained widespread attention for this dynamic band. <br /> <br /> DIVE&rsquo;s most recent success occurred in late 2009. This included signing with Phase One Communications/Mad Rock Music and recording their latest album, &ldquo;Picture Perfect&rdquo;, with famed producer, Jim Wirt (Incubus, No Doubt, Live, Jack&rsquo;s Mannequin). The band spent the holidays at the legendary 4th Street Recording Studios in Santa Monica, CA, where the hum of the Beach Boys&rsquo; melodies still linger in the place that gave birth to their sound decades earlier. The album is being released through Sony RED on 5/11/2010. A band driven by purpose and filled with passion, &ldquo;Picture Perfect,&rdquo; hits you fast and hard with a fury of tight rhythms and distorted guitars from beginning to end. Having a great record filled with addicting hooks and head banging beats is just not enough for these young rockers. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s all about having the live show to back it up&rdquo; Jonny Sitar (lead vocals) says. <br /> <br /> DIVE consistently delivers a tight and energetic live show, going all out and leaving the audience screaming for more. Sitar, commands the stage as well as the crowd with his uncanny vocal performance while connecting with the audience through stories of love and loss. Evan Canova and Jeff Moczydlowski dual between rhythm and lead while delivering both color and drive simultaneously backed by a rhythm section with more than enough backbone between bass player, Mike Morgan , and drummer Zhach Kelsch. <br /> <br /> DIVE has already built a devoted fan base thanks to the support of 93.3 WMMR (Philadelphia), the first radio station to feature Dive in full-rotation, and will be soon be launching their new single, &ldquo;Last Call Romance&rdquo; in the Tri-state area with the help of Land Shark Promotion Studio. 2010 presents a promising outlook of success and longevity for DIVE as they continue their pursuits of notoriety and merit. <br /> <br /> Please visit us at: <br /> <a href="http://www.myspace.com/dive"> Myspace.com/dive</a><br /> <a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmZhY2Vib29rLmNvbS9kaXZlYmFuZA==">Facebook.com/diveband</a><br /> <a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LnR3aXR0ZXIuY29tL2RpdmU=">Twitter.com/dive</a></p>
