Split Chain have spent the last two years transforming raw emotion into sound - from the depths of personal reckoning to the forefront of the UK alternative scene. Their debut album motionblur, soon to be released on Epitaph Records, is a thunderous statement of intent - an electrifying fusion of shoegaze, grunge and nu-metal, bursting with both nostalgia and forward momentum.
Sonically, Motionblur capture a distinctive aesthetic steeped in the melancholic haze of early 2000s alt-rock, but sharpened by the intensity of modern hardcore. Guitars drenched in chorus and distortion meet ethereal, hook-laden vocals, forging a sound that is simultaneously crushingly heavy and deeply penetrating.
After a string of self-released singles that organically amassed millions of streams, Split Chain catapulted further into the spotlight by signing to Epitaph. Their first single supported by the label propelled their streaming numbers past the 15 million mark, earning them AltPress "Breakout Artist of the Month and Revolver's Badass Rising Band to Know" honors. With accolades from Stereogum, The Needle Drop, BrooklynVegan and Metal Injection, the buzz for Split Chain is undeniable.
With motionblur, Split Chain aren't just making an album, they're making a moment. And if their career to date is any indication, this is just the beginning.
