So Split System released one of the best punk rock singles of this year, and for whatever reason, I never got around to writing anything about it. So perhaps I should weigh in on the band's split single with France's Les Lullies before I blink and it's suddenly December. There are so many great punk bands in Australia right now, but I wouldn't fight you if you said Split System was the best of them all. This band just kills it time and time again, and its contribution to this split is no throwaway. "Chemicals" is another essential shot of ferocious, hard-hitting punk rock 'n' roll that socks you in the mouth. "A L'Etroit," Les Lullies' contribution to this split, is a ripper in its own right — bringing that catchy '77-style punk rock energy with speed and vigor. If this is your first time hearing Les Lullies, I highly recommended a deeper dive into the band's catalog. This is a nice pairing of bands who have musical styles that are somewhat different but also somewhat similar. They'll be out on the road together in Europe next month, so be sure to check their social media for more info. Their split is available on vinyl from Legless in Australia and Drunken Sailor Records in the UK.!
