PREMIERE: Stream the New Punk-Laced Americana LP by Divers, 'Hello Hello'

We dare you not to think about Springsteen or Will Sheff after hearing it.

You can't listen to Divers without also hearing the larger canon of Americana. Though the band touches on classic punk leaning indie, with the heavily dramatic vocals bringing to mind the Boss or Will Sheff in the best of ways. The band previously released the driving "Tracks," but the quartet's debut LP shows a much wider range for the Portland band, alternating between the quietly powerful and the straight-up ripper.
