“SusAF — a three-song release born out of a desire to react creatively to modern world events rather than sitting idly by.”
– CHARLESTON LIVE MUSIC

“On the new 3-song EP, The Great Divider unleashes some raging fiery punk rock, particularly the opening salvo, ‘Alternate Reality.’”
– CHARLESTON CITY PAPER

“Together, the three songs move from fractured truth to political anger to the belief that peace is still worth choosing. Immediate, blunt, and rough around the edges, The Great Divider works because it sounds urgent rather than polished.”
 – AMERICANA HIGHWAYS

“As a whole, the three songs work together to express three different facets of living in the modern world in simple, effective tunes. What really sets SusAF apart is not his political commentary or his songwriting prowess, but his insistence that even amongst all the horrors, there is still room for hope.”
–  FEEDBACK BABY MEDIA

(Charleston, SC – October 9th 2026): SusAF confronts the fractures running through today’s social landscape with The Great Divider (Fused Edition), available now via Stone Point Records/Vere Music. SusAF sees the three-song project as “the aural equivalent of graffiti,” a kind of activist street painting that examines a world where shared truth has become harder to find, division increasingly defines the conversation, and the search for a way forward feels more urgent than ever. The decision to create The Great Divider (Fused Edition) is to offer a more enhanced and seamless listening experience as the EP songs combine continuously, creating a sense of unification and greater urgency. In addition to hearing the three songs combined, listeners will also be able to hear each song individually.

A clarion call of rock ‘n’ roll rage and rabble-rousing rebellion in just eight concise minutes, The Great Divider is an uncompromising musical grenade thrown into our broken discourse with deliberately overt intention. The response to The Great Divider has continued with new reviews from Americana Highways and Feedback Baby Media, both highlighting the way the project’s three songs work together as a complete statement. In a recent, exclusive Charleston Live Music interview with Mark Bryan discussing his new side project SusAF, Charleston Live Music writer Sandy Meier, observed, “That drive to constantly create is what fuels his newest side project, SusAF—a three-song release born out of a desire to react creatively to modern world events rather than sitting idly by.” SusAF is also continuing to work on new music, with more to come.

The project opens with the stirring “Alternate Reality,” with an official lyric video streaming HERE. The track introduces The Great Divider through a sense of frustration and disconnection, reflecting on how difficult it has become to even begin a conversation when people can no longer agree on what is true. Rather than simply pointing to disagreement, “Alternate Reality” captures the deeper isolation that comes when people seem to be operating from different versions of reality.

The title track, “The Great Divider,” confronts division head-on with a repeated call to “stop following the great divider.” Upon release, the song was featured on Apple Music’s “New In Rock” playlist and drew praise from Grateful Web, Rock DNA Magazine, and The Riff, the latter of which raved, “(‘The Great Divider’) converts raw outrage into something lean, rangy, and purposefully abrasive. Its provocations are familiar, but the energy behind them feels new and condensed. This is wicked, leading-edge protest music.”

The EP closes with “Molotov Rose,” an optimistic anthem described by SusAF in a recent interview with Snap & Snare as part of “an eye-opener at a time when the great Democratic experience hung in the balance.” Inspired by Banksy’s iconic Love Is In The Air, a 2003 mural depicting a masked freedom fighter throwing not a bomb, but a bouquet of flowers, the song offers a hopeful counterpoint to the tension that runs through the project. That image is reflected in the song’s refrain—“Anything to be a part of the solution/Anything that says lay your weapons down/Anything to help serve the situation/Every action we take comes back around”—shifting the project toward peace without backing away from its message of resistance.
