The Split is a New York City band that was born out of sporadic writing, rehearsal, and drinking sessions between friends Charlie Duerr (vocals, guitar), Tim Gray (drums), Lee Ferran (bass) and Steve Oben (lead guitar).
The band melded their sound out of their favorite elements of 60’s pop and rock ‘n roll, combined with garage rock energy, and began playing shows to enthusiastic audiences along the East Coast in 2011.
Based on the strength of their debut EP, The Split was selected to showcase at the Northside and CMJ music festivals in 2012, and is set to release a new single in the coming months, followed by their first full-length album.
Check out their music here.

Will King. I shave lives, and when I’m not, love sailing.
B. Eng. Hons. Mech. Eng., worked first in marketing, then when I was made redundant in 1993, founded King of Shaves. You won’t know what’s ‘Up’ until you know what’s ‘Down’.
Inspired by Leonardo da Vinci (“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication”) and people who make the impossible dream a reality. Future epitaph “He came, he saw, he shaved, he sailed, he died”.

George Bokhua. In childhood my favorite song was “Radio Ga Ga” by “Queen”. I loved it so much that I used to write the title everywhere I possibly could - in my room, school, yard, public trasport, streets, books, notebooks. For years I wrote it on at least a hundred spots per day. That’s how I started developing my love for typography and Graphic design.
