Chicago’s own underground trio Pixel Grip—Rita Lukea on vocals, Jonathon Freund on synths, and Tyler Ommen on drums—brings you Split. This high-energy track, rich with raw emotion and clever wordplay, dives into the fractures of broken relationships, betrayal, and the complexities of mental health. It’s a cathartic anthem of pain and revenge, where every pulsating beat mirrors the sting of betrayal.
Split isn’t just their first single of the year—it’s the third chapter in their upcoming project, following the pulse-pounding Stamina and Bet You Do. Pixel Grip continues to defy genres, blending darkwave, electronic, and avant-pop influences while maintaining that raw energy and unmistakable charisma.
In the words of the band, “’Split’ is a triple entendre. It means leaving, as in ‘I’m going to split; see you later.’ It represents heartbreak—my heart split in half. And it reflects a psychological shift where someone you trust suddenly becomes your enemy, a stark division that forces you to cut ties.”
Known for their seductive, avant-garde style and electrifying live shows, Pixel Grip has earned a loyal following through relentless touring and unapologetic explorations of desire, power, and liberation. With over 7 million streams to date, their past tours have seen them open for HEALTH and DEHD, and they’ve commanded sold-out North American headline runs—including an unforgettable night at Chicago’s RIOT Fest. Their underground hits like ALPHAPUSSY and Demon Chaser have even graced the runways for high-fashion houses such as VERSACE and Alexandre Vauthier.
Experience Split now and keep an eye out—there’s much more Pixel Grip magic on the horizon.
