Divided By Design is a 4-piece alternative rock band from San Diego, California. Featuring a lineup of vocalist Jeffrey Jackson, bassist Eric Raether, guitarist Brian Raether and drummer Tim Lesh, the band was born from an influence of intertwined roots in alternative and experimental rock, grunge and alternative metal.  Serving time in other musical projects (Jeffrey Jackson - Emotion Sickness, Behind Space;  Tim Lesh - The Kobbs, Museum, Metal Mariachis, Led Pencil;   Eric Raether – The Kobbs, Plug;  Brian Raether – The Kobbs, Redamber Green), the four band members converged in 2010 to form a sound that delivers a spike of raw emotion driven by lyrical inspiration and personal evolution, melodic guitar phrasing, heart-thumping bass, and aggressive, stylistic percussion.  Primary musical interests include Incubus, Muse, Alice In Chains, Sinch, Auto Pilot, Sonic Youth, Audiovent, Jane’s Addiction, Faith No More, 32Leaves, Arcade Fire, Finger Eleven,Fugazi, Parabelle, Pixies, !!!, The Rapture, The Red Hot Chili Peppers…..and of course, Billy Idol. The band's first recordings (September, 2010) were completed in a live, short-take practice setting in their rehearsal room in San Diego and included songs such as "Ashes to Dust", "Tunnel Vision" and "Tummy Pencils".  The band is currently recording their first album and planning a tour for later this year.
