The Sheila Divine
Summary
Aaron Perrino refuses to be beat. The Boston music scene veteran, who helms The Sheila Divine, has spent decades confounding expectations with songs that deftly weave power-punching political criticism amongst mundane daily frustrations. Songs that expose purest grief alongside deepest love. The Sheila Divine’s upcoming sixth album, The Middle Ages (out May 22nd on Trash Casual), is a deeply human document of everyday life. Across ten new tracks Perrino bares his soul and searches his heart in songs that navigate the wide gamut of lived experience: from the wrenching loss of his mother, through parental anxieties for his own children’s wellbeing, to the strains of congested city life, fractured relationships, and rage at what his nation has turned into.
