Split Chain have unleashed a new single, Subside

Split Chain have just released a massive new single, Subside.

Taken from July’s highly-anticipated motionblur debut album, vocalist Bert Martinez-Cowles says that this new banger is “a call-out song to the antagonists in everybody’s life. It’s a break out from the judgemental, close-minded people who consistently try to bring you down to their shitty level. Subside is the realisation that you are under no obligation to anyone and owe nothing to any of those people. Free yourself from the dead weight in your life and allow yourself to grow past them so you can thrive and live life in a way that works for you.”

Speaking to Kerrang! last month about motionblur, Bert explained that, “It’s an album about growing up, going through all the shit we needed to go through to get to the place we are now. A lot of it’s personal, dealing with broken family life, understanding mental health and struggling with imposter syndrome. It’s about learning, pushing through difficulties and figuring out who you are.

“We called it motionblur because everything from our teenage years to now feels like one huge blur. We don’t really know what’s going on or why us, but it’s a story of discovery. It’s about accepting that we don’t have control over this, but here we are. We’re living in a dream and it feels like we’ve been set free.”
