Split System - Hit Me

  

  If you've been following this blog over the last few years, or even if you've just been keeping up with the global punk scene, you'll no doubt be aware of what a fertile field Australia is when it comes to exciting genre music. Today I'm featuring a song by a new 5 piece which contains members of 3 bands I've posted on here previously and a couple I haven't listened to yet but will do so in due course. 

 Split System are from Melbourne and line up thus; 

 Jackson Reid Briggs - Vocals (Jackson Reid Briggs & The Heaters)

 Arron Mawson - Guitar (Stiff Richards)

 Ryan Webb - Guitar (Speed Week)

 Deon Slaviero - Bass (The Black Heart Death Cult)

 Mitch McGregor - Drums (No Zu)

  I  don't know anything about them other than what it says on Bandcamp... They only had one jam together last year before lock down kicked in again but 5 songs were written so the band recorded their parts separately and the results are being released on a Self Titled ep by Legless Records. There's one track streaming now and I think it's fair to say it's not a million miles away from what you'd expect from a band boasting Jackson Reid Briggs and Stiff Richards' guitarist. It's driving garage rock and it's very good. The full ep will be out early this year on 7" vinyl.
