Split System - self titled 7"

The Aussies' domination of punk rock music in 2023 continues with a double A-side banger 7" from Melbourne's mighty Split System. Still fresh off of releasing one of the best albums of last year, this fab five (Jackson Reid Briggs on vocals, Arron Mawson on guitar, Ryan Webb on guitar, Deon Slaviero on bass, and Mitch McGregor on drums) tears into what could very well be its strongest release to date. Both tracks — "Bullet" and "On the Street" — rip hard and fast in the storied Aussie punk tradition. These dudes are not fooling around. They are here to smash it up, and they waste no time getting down to business. If relentless chainsaw guitars, a steamroller rhythm section, and a singer screaming his guts out sound enticing to you (and why wouldn't they?), consider this single a no-question-about-it must-own. Limited colored vinyl is available now from Legless Records!
