Split Chain, the English rock band formed in Bristol in 2023, bring their distinctive blend of nu metal and shoegaze—a sound they call "dreamo"—to Southampton for a headline show. The band, comprising vocalist Bert Martínez-Cowles, bassist Tom Davies, drummer Aaron Black, and guitarists Oli Bowles and Jake Reid, have been building momentum since their debut single "Get Inside" in 2023.
Attendees can expect a set drawing from their debut album *Motionblur* (released July 2025 on Epitaph Records) and earlier EPs like *SC.001*, which collects their singles from 2023 and 2024. The band has toured extensively across the UK, Europe, and the US, opening for acts such as A Day to Remember and Superheaven, and appearing at festivals like Download and Mystic Festival.
With their genre-defying fusion of heavy riffs and ethereal textures, Split Chain offer a live experience that appeals to fans of nu-gaze and grungegaze alike. This Southampton date is a chance to catch a rising force in the UK rock scene up close.
