The Splits s/t lp (Vinyl)

The Splits s/t lp

Female. Finnish. Fenomenal. While other members of their generation blog the latest fashion farts on Facebook and play electronic hipster bum bum in neon discoteques, the four young women of the SPLITS from Helsinki picked up some real guitars and drumsticks and met in stinky basements, where they taught themselves to play and to follow the footsteps of the WIPERS and 90s Riot Grrrl bands like L7, TEAM DRESCH, BIKINI KILL or SLEATER KINNEY that they mix with their own vision of powerful Pop that BLONDIE and JAY REATARD taught them.
Bittersweet and edgy, the 12 songs deal with interpersonal dilemmas, teenage angst and anger, and are presented with a killer of a voice that will make you shiver. Legend has it that they recorded these songs before they even played one single show. After their first little festival tour this summer, this record sold faster than moonshine liquor at a decent Finnish sauna night. The SPLITS are part of a new generation of young Punx that hopefully will split like amoebas.
