The Splints are a grunge punk rock trio from Washington DC. "Love Letters and Broken Bones" (EP) is their second release. The infamous Steve Albini (Nirvana, The Stooges, The Pixies and many others) worked with The Splints on recording "Love Letters and Broken Bones." The Splints influences include Sonic Youth, The Pixies and
L7, which they successfully infuse into their own sound.

The Splints music reminds me of many amazing 90's bands but what has me excited is the fact that they don't replicate these bands. The Splints have their own original sound and songs. Their music is like a punk, grunge, rock'n'roll aneurysm exploding in your brain and delivering electrifying shocks of orgasmic
pleasure to your nervous system.

"Love Letters and Broken Bones" is loaded with distorted and screaming guitar riffs, contagious melodies and kickass solid drumming. The deep sexy female vocals along with the raspy male vocals grind out the infectious lyrics and unite in the chorus of the song, "Baby Took My Heart Out," adding yet another dimension to this kickass band. The song "Linoleum" is a fucktastic tune and probably my favourite track. "In a system that's run on lies." The tune,
"Mean," sends chills down my spine as Lynn Dials seems to channel the spirits of old and infuses them into his own vocals creating his own unique gritty vocals. "Prick" and "Red Hands" are moshin' tracks
that explode raw energy and just well.......KICKASS!
