If you're tired of reading bios from bands that just aren't on MTV yet boast of success after success, then you're likely to love this one.

Just the facts, none of the exaggerated hype. "Paindivision" is not into bragging: listen to the tracks and the music
will speak for itself. Formed by Australian virtuoso Stu Marshall, "Paindivision" features some of the nations most disciplined and hardest-working musicians. Marshall, a writer for Guitarist Australia magazine, is formerly of the metal band Dungeon. During Dungeons heyday, they were the go-to band for promoters seeking a world-class professional act capable of supporting
international artists such as Nightwish, Angra, Destruction, Doro and
Twisted Sister. Dungeon also toured the world extensively, playing shows
in the USA, Europe and Japan.

After opening for Megadeth all of their Australian shows in 2005, Dungeon were invited to support the metal giants on the European leg of their "Blackmail the Universe tour." It was a high point in Dungeons career, and the significance of Megadeth choosing an Australian band for this honour does not need additional elaboration. This same work ethic and spirit lead to two powerful shows in late 2006 with Sebastian Bach and metal giant Zakk Wylde.

Channelling his experience from Dungeon and a total of 20 years of guitar playing, Marshall has focussed his talents on writing strong melodies and subject matter for mainstream rock appeal. The music evokes what AC/DC might have sounded like if Angus Young had a split personality with Eddie Van Halen, and if they'd had to start in this millennium and compete with all the manufactured pop crap on the radio.

"Paindivision" live shows have the powerful, larger-than-life feel characteristic of the classic rock acts, and also helping exposure is Marshalls regular columns and gear reviews with Guitarist Australia magazine.

To complete the band, Marshall has enlisted veteran performers Jordan
Howe (Ex-Harlots) Joe Rahme (drums) and Ray Martens (keys). Between regular live appearances, Paindivision have finalised the recording of their debut CD to be released nationally by RIOT Entertainment and even at this early stage, negotiations are in progress to release the album
in Japan and Europe."
