NEWS: Split Chain share new single and announce UK and Ireland shows!

Since forming in 2023, Bristol based Split Chain have been busy making waves with their brazen mixture of shoe gaze and nu metal influences that they call “nu-gaze”… which sounds a lot like Deftones and Loathe. Backed by a handful of self-released tracks amassing fifteen million streams to date, their organic momentum has led them to a home with Epitaph Records as they continue to extend their global reach. That explains why they’re currently touring the US with Silverstein and Thursday and have a new single in “I’m Not Dying To Be Here” out now.

The band comment: “this song is a defiant anthem about breaking free from toxic relationships, no matter how deep the connection. It explores the internal battle of standing your ground when the person causing harm is a family member, long-time partner, or close friend. It’s a raw and honest reflection on the courage it takes to choose yourself, even when it means walking away from someone you once trusted. We were writing music as an escape, a distraction, to create what we wanted to listen to. We ended up loving what we had created so much, and from this, Split Chain was formed.”

The band have also announced their first headline tour of the UK and Ireland, where they’ll be joined by special guests, Mercury:
