Codependent by The Band Split

Chicago’s The Band Split has just released its debut album, Unimpressive. But this assertive, hands-on, four-piece band is anything but unimpressive when it comes to making great music. Ryan Gatenby (vocalist/guitarist) produced the album at home and mastered it on his Mac Book in order to release this melodic rock gem on Transistor Sound, a label started by drummer Andy Miles. Alternative rock bands so often wear their indie credentials the same way gangsta rappers brag of hard time served. And in this regard, The Band Split has earned the music business equivalent to a Purple Heart. “It’s the indiest of indie labels,” Gatenby enthuses, “we couldn’t be more underground.”
