Touring full time can be a hard life, but even harder to walk away from. -- -- The March Divide is a fresh start for San Antonio-based musician Jared Putnam after years on the road (and a few years off of it) with his former band The Conversation. -- "All of that time on tour wrecked my personal life," Putnam explains. "It was coming out in the worst way when I would perform, but it only took a couple of years before the void from not playing was just too big to ignore." -- After taking part in a couple of projects with friends, Putnam realized a casual interest wasn't going to be enough, and The March Divide was born. -- The band's debut Music for Film began to take shape when Putnam assigned himself the production duties and started recording some acoustic and vocal tracks. He soon asked his former bandmates from The Conversation - Jorge Ramirez (on Bass) and Mike Hernandez (on Drums) - to come aboard. Musician Laura Wheeler joined them on Vocals and Cello to round out the new group. -- "Having Jorge and Mike work on the album with me was great," says Putnam. "I always felt like I was at my best with them." -- An acoustic-based album that only has a full drum kit on half of the songs, the unique sound of Music for Film still maintains distinct references to Putnam's louder influences such as The Promise Ring and Cursive, and Putnam's love of Elliott Smith comes out in the album's catchy hooks, clever lyrics and unexpected upbeat moments.
