Formed in 2023, the band comprises vocalist Bert Martinez-Cowles, guitarists Oli Bowles and Jake Reid, bassist Tom Davies, and drummer Aaron Black. Despite their recent inception, Split Chain has rapidly gained prominence, amassing over 15 million streams and performing at esteemed festivals such as Download, Outbreak, and 2000 Trees.
