‘The Chase’ is a welcome teaser ahead of the band’s sophomore EP, Only Words, which drops this Friday (presave HERE). Proudly hard to define, Splitting Edges have mastered a potent blend of gritty vocals, catchy indie melodies, and relatable songwriting — all peppered with touches of jazz. Their distinctive sound has been turning heads since they formed in 2019.

Founded by Lydon Peacock (singer/songwriter) and Bradley Osborn (drummer), the band found their missing piece in lead guitarist Nathan Cannon — completing the core lineup. Whilst already managing to crack the code as a three piece, the group continues to keep the door open to collaboration, having worked with a range of talented rappers and instrumentalists to expand and diversify their sound even further.

Splitting Edges write with refreshing transparency, drawing from lived experience. “Our music explores the stuff we say, the stuff we don’t, and the way life can both connect and destroy us. We tackle the good, the bad and the ugly. Our music sounds catchy or sexy or romantic, but there’s always something darker or truer underneath.” they shared. Exploring themes of love, lust, luck, pubs, anger, and grief, their fanbase continues to grow, drawn in by the raw relatability of their lyrics.

Citing influences like Jamie T, King Krule, Puma Blue, Amy Winehouse, and Johnny Cash, the band has crafted a sound that resists easy comparisons.
