Split Chain Bio

Split Chain - vocalist Roberto Martinez-Cowles, guitarists Oli Bowles and Jake Reid, bassist Tom Davies and drummer Aaron Black – have been making waves in the alternative scene with a brazen mixture of heavy influences they call “nu-gaze”. With just a handful a self-released tracks they reached over 10 Million streams independently and before joining the Epitaph family. After dropping their official label debut single “(Re)-Extract” feat Softcult, they were quick to be named the AltPress Breakout Artist Of The Month, earning additional nods of approval from Revolver, BrooklynVegan, Stereogum and more.

Formed as a creative outlet while on the road to recovery from addiction, the band members came together in support of each other and cemented a deep bond over the healing power of music. By channeling their personal struggles into emotionally charged songs, they have connected with a growing fan base drawn to their vulnerability and honesty. “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.”
