I always get the Melbourne punk band Split System confused with the Chicago-based Jason Narducy band Split Single. Not helping the situation: Split System have a new split single out today. The band’s “Search And Destroy”-esque stomper “Chemicals” appears opposite “A L’Etroit,” a new fist-pounder from Montpellier marauders Les Lullies. If you like hard, fast garage rock with a sense of crowd-pleasing fun, these bands are keeping it alive for you in 2025. Listen below.
