Lean, mean, hard-drinking machines… Manhattan’s The Split is simply exactly what you want to hear spill over from the garage and to the beer hall. Unlike the cynical boredom characterizing most of the pub crawl circuit, Tim Gray and Charlie Duerr approach most of their material with an unexpected optimism and promise, from ‘Here Before We’re Gone’ to ‘Nobody But You,’ they give an unexpected set of reassurances through their dirty guitar chops I haven’t heard in awhile. The Split just might be a band worth believing in.
