SPLIT SYSTEM, the Aussie group featuring Jackson Reid Briggs (JACKSON REID BRIGGS & THE HEATERS) on vocals and Arron Mawson (STIFF RICHARDS) on guitar, took the punk world by storm with its debut EP. That was hardly surprising given the talent involved. Not just another "super group", SPLIT SYSTEM is straight-up one of the most powerful and exciting punk rock and roll bands of recent memory. The band's EP was a smasher, and now debut album "Vol. 1" emphatically follows suit.
Essentially SPLIT SYSTEM's sound is classic Aussie punk. That may sound like nothing new, but this band executes the style with a force and fury rarely heard these days.
It doesn't hurt that Jackson Reid Briggs is one of the best rock and roll screamers going. This band knows how to rock and roll, and there are literally no songs on this album that don't entirely kick ass.
Sometimes we think of these all-star groups as "side projects," but such categorization would sell SPLIT SYSTEM woefully short. If we're talking about the top three or four punk bands in Australia right now, this has to be one of them!
