Today, the hotly-tipped Bristol nu-gaze band, Split Chain, announce the release of their debut album, motionblur, out July 11 on Epitaph Records.
Speaking of the album, bassist Tom Davies says, “motionblur is as much a coming-of-age story as it is a celebration of our adolescence and the things that defined us. We wanted to encapsulate the feelings of angst and isolation that so many struggle with growing up—but just as importantly, we wanted to honour the things that shaped us: the lifestyles, the music, and the pop culture that became part of our identity.“
Speaking of today’s new single, bored. tired. torn., frontman Bert Martinez-Cowles says, “bored.tired.torn explores the difficulty and pain of growing up in a broken childhood home. Thematically, the song centres on whether or not someone should have to deal with the shit they’re dealt by relatives just because they’re family. The song is a declaration against that, and tries to positively convey the message that nobody has to put up with it just because they’re share blood with the people hurting them. Don’t feel bound to it just because society would expect you to, always make the best decision for yourself, regardless of what anybody else makes of it. You’ll be grateful you did.”
