The Sheila Divine - "I Know There Is Happiness"

The Sheila Divine have been around since the late 90's, but we are just entering a new era for the band. Back on June 12, Aaron Perrino announced that The Sheila Divine is the only musical moniker he will be releasing and performing under, and that name will now encompass all of his previous musical endeavors (Aaron & The Lord, No Hope No Harm, and Dear Leader). He's released his first single from this new era, and it doesn't sound like your typical The Sheila Divine song, but it's certainly an Aaron Perrino one. "I Know There Is Happiness" continues the darker sound that Aaron & The Lord had been exploring while keeping the more melodic sound of The Sheila Divine. It's a darker alt-rock song that is stunningly beautiful. Perrino has created a sound that is an introspective power ballad that also straight up rocks. I've been a diehard Sheila Divine fan since 1999, and I'm thrilled that Perrino can still surprise with creativity and by bringing his music in new directions.
