Split Chain are redefining the alternative scene with their distinctive blend of heavy influences, a sound they’ve coined “nu-gaze.”
Split Chain – comprising vocalist Roberto Martinez-Cowles, guitarists Oli Bowles and Jake Reid, bassist Tom Davies, and drummer Aaron Black – are redefining the alternative scene with their distinctive blend of heavy influences, a sound they’ve coined “nu-gaze.” With just a handful of self-released tracks, they garnered over 10 million streams independently before joining the legendary Epitaph Records. Their official label debut single, “(Re)-Extract” featuring Softcult, quickly propelled them into the spotlight, earning them the title of AltPress Breakout Artist of the Month and praise from outlets like Revolver, BrooklynVegan, and Stereogum.
Formed as a creative outlet during their journey to overcome addiction, the band’s music is deeply rooted in personal struggle and collective healing. Split Chain’s emotionally charged songs have struck a chord with fans drawn to their raw vulnerability and powerful storytelling. “We were writing music as an escape, a distraction, to create what we wanted to listen to,” they explain. “We ended up loving what we had created so much, and from this, Split Chain was formed.” With their cathartic sound and rising momentum, Split Chain is carving out a space as a force to be reckoned with in modern alternative music.
