Rubin Recommends

Split Lip, (that later became Chamberlain) was a Midwestern Hardcore band that turned into Post Hardcore (what do these terms even mean?) from Indianapolis, Indiana in the mid to late 90’s.

This Flashback made the most sense today because they are playing reunion shows tonight in Louisville w/ Guilt (another reunion), Indianapolis tomorrow (Saturday) and Chicago on Sunday, I wish I was going to them. (Thanks Thommy for the corrections.)

I remember when my friend Brett came over freshman year of high school with Split Lip’s Fates Got A Driver on vinyl, I put it on, and loved it. When their song “Magnetic 62nd” came out on the Anti Matter comp, I think I put it on every mix tape that I made since the late in the late 90’s.

(Just a side note, this is one of the many reasons I ended up working at Doghouse Records and the reason I am where I am today. Weird how everything works out.)

Their full length’s include For The Love Of The Wounded (Split Lip), Fate’s Got a Driver (Split Lip then reissued as Chamberlain),  The Moon, My Saddle, and Exit 263. They also released a few singles and were on a lot of comps.
