SPLINT - FREE ENTRY

Splint initially malformed between singer/guitarist Jake Bogacki’s home in Calderdale and the alley-arteried suburbs of South Manchester. Citing Television as a founding influence and finding the spirit of Tom Verlaine & Velvet Underground somewhere in the bleary, early hours after late nights, the collapsing furniture and broken boilers of their home city’s industrial mills-turned-rehearsal rooms. Self-scribed tattoos, dissatisfaction and no taxi fare walk homes are what splint is made of. Singles Military Procedures, 145 and Awaiting Hills on Nice Swan Records have gained praise from the likes of Steve Lamacq and Deb Grant at BBC 6 Music.
