Jah Division. Of course being a whiteboy, cod-reggae, posh kids with hair cancer on drugs in Goa kind of outfit, the song is, to give it the full title, ‘Dub Will Tear Us Apart’. One can only wonder when we will hear from JD covering boy band Boy Division, the skinhead tribute act Oi! Division, the Hasidic covers band Oy Vey! Division, and the Fisher Price sponsored act, Toy Division. Please. Somebody kill me now.
