Unimpressive, the debut album by Chicago's SPLIT, was recorded in a basement in Rogers Park over

the course of three Mondays between the hours of 7 and 9pm, so as not to annoy the neighbors.

SPLIT met in 2009 and bonded over a mutual love of bacon & beer, and swaggering, sweltering indie

rock.

SPLIT list among their influences such '80s legends as the Jesus and Mary Chain, Husker Du and Echo

& the Bunnymen, and '90s alt-rock heroes Superchunk, Sebadoh, Pavement, Stone Roses and

Swervedriver.

Unimpressive includes songs about infidelity, codependency, insecurity, defeatism, incredulity,

availability, transportation, texting, sex and drugs.

SPLIT has played many storied Chicago venues including Subterranean, Martyrs, and Bottom Lounge,

and are regulars on the stage of the Transistor shop in the Andersonville neighborhood. They signed

to Transistor's in-house record label, Transistor Sound, in September of 2009.

SPLIT thanks you, friends. They wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you.
