2nd edition in yellow wax!
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.
