PARTITION
Bio
PARTITION originally began in 2015 in Richmond VA when lead singer/bassist Taylor (pronouns they/them) was 18. After battling with mental health issues and drug addiction Taylor had to leave the band and Richmond to seek mental and drug abuse counselling. During this time most of the songs for Prodigal Gun were written. (The others were written when Taylor was 17 back in Southwest VA). After rehab and a stint in sober living in California, Taylor linked up with long time internet friend Evan (PARTITION’s current drummer, pronouns he/him) Where on a whim Taylor spent their whole paycheck on a plane ticket to MN, arriving with no money. After a few months of practicing as a two piece they finally met Seth (guitar, pronouns he/him) at a house show. They began practicing constantly and recorded PARTITION’s first set of recordings Prodigal Demo . The release of these songs in Sept 2018 was the band’s first show in Minneapolis. Before the pandemic the trio has played live shows non stop including two midwestern tours. A two week east coast had to be cancelled due to Covid. PARTITION released their debut LP Prodigal Gun in January 2020 followed a vinyl pressing by Mpls LTD in June of that year. PARTITION now resides in the scenic Appalachian town of Tazewell, VA with their new guitar player Levi Hash (he/him) and are cooking up LP 2. Taylor is now 4 years sober.
