Splitting Edges are a two man Alternative rock band composed of Lead singer and songwriter Lydon Peacock and drummer Bradley Osborn.
From tales of friendship, foes, lovers, betrayal and revelry. Our sound is defined by our experiences - the good, the bad and the ugly. With intimate lyrics, raw energy and an uncompromising sound.
After forming in 2019 we have been eager to bring back bands to their former glory. We pride ourselves in being real music lovers. Having hints and flavours of all genres of music. From jazz to rock to pop to hip hop, Splitting Edges has no bounds.
LYDON PEACOCK
Growing up in London its always easy to have stuff to write about, theres always things happening or interesting people you encounter daily. The last three years for Brad and I have been such a journey, and we have found ourselves in some of the craziest situations and places. From these experiences, I have an arsenal of details and stories to talk about in our music. For me, it’s almost like the songs are all pieces of a bigger picture and story.
I started off writing music around the age of twelve, but it would be a lie to say I wasn’t surrounded by it as a child, with artists such as The Sex Pistols, the Clash, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan and many more constantly being played around me in my youth. After years of being in and out of school bands I later found my inspiration in artists such as The Strokes, Jamie T, The Arctic Monkeys, Joni Mitchell, Amy Winehouse, Robert Johnson and the list goes on.
BRADLEY OSBORN
Growing up in St Albans I was always surrounded by music, and it is mainly due to my family that I ended up deciding to devote my life to it. Ever since I was a toddler I can remember my sister being in part musical theatre, and growing up I had lessons in both bass and acoustic guitar. My parents always pushed me to try and practice as much as possible as they could see their passion for music coming out in me with every new song I learnt - however when I look back - as in love with music as I was, playing the bass and guitar never filled me with the pure exhilaration that drumming afforded me.
As my years behind the kit went by I started to explore different styles and study different drummers, some of the key drummers I look up too are the likes of Steve Gadd, Matt Gartska and Vinnie Colaiuta, all incredibly technical drummers and masters of their craft. This really opened my eyes to the next level of drumming and inspires me daily to get behind the kit and practice. In the same way they inspire me I hope that I can one day inspire other drummers around the world.
