New, young, unsigned, punk rock & roll Herts & Essex 3 piece SPLITFIRE formed around the new year of 2006, and played their first gig on April 6.
Since then they have been around the local scene building up a following
of loyal supporters, recording demo's, writing songs and dipping their toes into the shark infested music industry ocean of olde London Town.
SPLITFIRE have an uncanny knack of making each 3 minute power pop song do exactly what it says on the tin!
With sweet backing harmonies from drummer Luke ,combining with Joe's cockney barrow boy vocals the Fire are growing into the a fantastic three piece, which need to be seen live!
Thumping bass lines from Tom, and moonesque quickfire drumming mixed with a ripping guitar sound give these boys the power of the Clash, with the
energy of early Jam and the pop of Supergrass, while still retaining their own unique sound.

MUSIC-ZINE LIVE REVIEW....."SPLITFIRE have got a clutch of female fans screaming down the front every time their name is mentioned this evening, and it soon becomes apparent that this reaction is entirely justified.The band have an average age of 16 and looking sharp in pinstripe suits.Their own brand of nu-mod is as essential as it is infectious.They are clearly the youngest but most able of the bands with drummer Luke as tight as the proverbial gnats chuff, bassist Tom peeling off the fills with ease and frontman/guitarist Joe a born
frontman and already consumate guitarist. Seriously, the record industry should be crawling all over these boys. They have the talent, the songs and enough attitude to kick the Mcfly's of this world into dadrock territory. "What a shame" is a bouncy riot-along and is an obvious hit record. "Myspace" included a hilarious take on 10cc's "Dreadlock Holiday" ("I don't like Myspace, i love it!). Splitfire quite simply left all the other bands standing this evening!"
MUSIC-ZINE DEMO REVIEW.....SPLITFIRE - WELCOME TO THE NEW GENERATION
"Splitfire I'm convinced are going to be huge. The sharp-dressed 3 piece have bags of talent and at only 16 years old, still have bags of time to hone their already advanced song writing skills. Their influences are obviousl - The Jam are their key reference point, but they're no rip-off. Guitarist and singer Joe is a star, but you can tell he means it when he sings, and he plays a mean SG. The rhythm section of Luke (drums) and Tom (Bass) are bang on the button and sold as a rock. This demo, despite lacking the sparkle a decent producer would afford them (but all in good time, boys) does the job of showing what they're capable of. In The Sunshine is punchy, punky and full of attitude, Today's The Day is more of the same - great harmonies and a catchy chorus - 3 minutes of pure mod-pop. Initial Verdict is very close to the The Jam, but is my favourite on the CD - a brilliant guitar melody and Weller harmonies bring back some great memories from the late 70's! This is nu-mod - jump on this wagon before it rolls into arena territory!"I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
