Description

From the depths of personal reckoning to the forefront of the UK's alternative scene, SPLIT CHAIN have spent the past two years transmuting raw emotion into sound. Their debut album, motionblur, out soon on Epitaph Records, is a thunderous statement of intent--an electrifying fusion of shoegaze, grunge, and nu-metal that surges with both nostalgia and forward momentum.

Sonically, motionblur captures a distinctive aesthetic, steeped in the melancholic haze of early 2000s alt rock yet sharpened by the intensity of modern hardcore. Guitars drenched in chorus and distortion crash into ethereal, hook-laden vocals, forging a sound that's at once crushingly heavy and deeply immersive.

Following a string of self-released singles that organically amassed millions of streams, SPLIT CHAIN's signing with Epitaph catapulted them further into the spotlight. Their first label-backed single pushed their streaming numbers past the 15-million mark, earning them accolades as AltPress' Breakout Artist of the Month and Revolver's 'Badass Rising Band to Know.' With nods from Stereogum, The Needle Drop, Brook lynVegan, and Metal Injection, the buzz around Split Chain is undeniable.

With motionblur, SPLIT CHAIN aren't just making an album--they're making a moment. And if their trajec tory so far is any indication, this is only the beginning.
