  • Split Single Announces New Album, Amplificado, out June 25Th on Inside Outside Records
    April 27, 2021 For Immediate Release Split Single Announces New Album, Amplificado, Out June 25th on Inside Outside Records Watch Video for Lead Single, "(Nothing You Can Do To) End This Love" Split Single, the collective project of Chicago-based musician Jason Narducy (Bob Mould Band, Superchunk, Verbow), announces their new album, Amplificado, out June 25th on Inside Outside Records. Recorded at Electrical Audio in Chicago by Narducy (guitar/vocals), REM’s Mike Mills (bass), Jon Wurster (drums), Amplificado is a tight collection of rock songs dealing with the anxiety of living through a chaotic and cruel Republican majority rule and under the limitations of a worldwide pandemic. The new album comes nearly five years aer the release of Split Single’s 2016 album, Metal Frames, “a powerhouse pop record that prides itself on tenacious vocals and resolute rhythm guitar” (Stereogum) recorded with Wurster and Wilco’s John Sitrratt, and last year’s acclaimed, Jeff Award-nominated production of Verböten, a musical inspired by Narducy’s now-seminal childhood punk rock band of the same name. In conjunction with today’s announcement, Split Single presents the album’s lead single, “(Nothing You Can Do To) End This Love,” a message of love and support to the LGBTQ+ community. “The chords and melody for this song sounded like defiance to me,” says Narducy. “I wanted to write a lyric that matched this sonic mood. The first words that came into my head were ‘She loves her and he loves him.’ So it ended up being an unconventional love song. I’m expressing support and joy for diverse couples everywhere, including but not only my friends that appear in the video.” The charming accompanying video was directed by Jamie Fleischel.

  • Split Single Shares New Single/Video, “Satellite” from New Album, Amplificado, out 6/25 on Inside Outside Records
    June 15, 2021 For Immediate Release Split Single Shares New Single/Video, “Satellite” From New Album, Amplificado, Out 6/25 on Inside Outside Records Announces Summer Solo Tour Dates & Fall Dates Supporting Bob Mould (Photo by Nathan Keay) “I really love the music, that mix of genres, I just love it. It's one of my favorite kinds of music. Jon Wurster is one of my favorite drummers. I was really happy to get a chance to play with Jason, and his songs are great. It was just a super project for me.” — REM’s Mike Mills Split Single, the collective project of Chicago-based musician Jason Narducy (Bob Mould Band, Superchunk, Verbow) — this time featuring REM’s Mike Mills on bass and Jon Wurster (Superchunk, Bob Mould, The Mountain Goats) on drums — presents a new single/video, “Satellite,” and also announces both summer headline tour dates and fall tour dates supporting Bob Mould. The closing track from Split Single’s forthcoming album, Amplificado (out June 25th on Inside Outside Records), “Satellite” follows previous singles, “95 Percent,” a “full-speed-ahead guitar banger” (Stereogum), and the “defiantly triumphant” (The A.V. Club) “(Nothing You Can Do To) End This Love.” It features Wilco’s Mikael Jorgensen on Wurlitzer. “‘Satellite’ was the first song I wrote for this album,” says Narducy. “The lyrics are about searching for connection which is something many of us have felt deeply during the pandemic. I wanted the video to capture that feeling of isolation and then the jubilation once a connection is made. This video came together very quickly.

  • The House Theatre of Chicago Announces ​Verböten a New
    November 14, 2019 For Immediate Release The House Theatre of Chicago Announces Verböten ​ A new musical inspired by Jason Narducy’s teenage punk rock band Watch Trailer Here ​ Running January 16 – March 8, 2020 Chopin Theatre, 1543 W Division St, Chicago Press Opening: Sunday, January 26 7:00pm (Verböten, 1983) 1983. Chicago. It’s do-or-die for Verböten—a band made up of outsider teens with seriously complex ​ ​ home lives. As they gear up for a show at The Cubby Bear that is sure to change their lives forever, can they keep their parents from destroying the fabric of their self-made punk rock family? With lyrics and music by Verböten’s original guitarist Jason Narducy (Bob Mould, Superchunk, Split Single) and ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ book by Brett Neveu (Odradek, Pilgrim's Progress, Traitor), Verböten is inspired by the true story of ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Chicago's own young punks. Music and Lyrics by Jason Narducy ​ Book by Brett Neveu ​ ​ ​ Directed by Nathan Allen ​ ​ ​ We started a punk rock band in Evanston in 1982. I was 11 years old and it felt incredible to write original songs and play them with my friends. We all had our own issues at home but we found love and support in our little group. We were Verböten. Brett Neveu wrote this play depicting our scene in Evanston in 1983. I think he captured the spirit of the band and both the humor and confusion that we possessed. I was nervous about writing songs for a musical for the first time. Thankfully, the whole process of developing the piece took five years so I had plenty of time to create music and lyrics.
