Indie Pop sensation Split Second returns with their latest single, "Ozymandias," an energetic and quirky track inspired by the classic poem by Percy Bysshe Shelley. The band, composed of members Ava, Jack, Levi, and Louiz, have crafted a unique sound that blends influences from Fleetwood Mac Arctic Monkeys and Blondie, resulting in a vibrant and distinctive musical experience.

"Ozymandias" is a bold departure from Split Second's usual style, showcasing a captivating blend of indie pop with a distinct Greek flair. The track was inspired by the poem "Ozymandias" by Percy Bysshe Shelley, which tells the tale of a tyrannical king whose empire crumbles, leaving only the ruins of his once-great kingdom. The band cleverly intertwines this theme with their own experiences, creating a powerful narrative that resonates with listeners.

Produced by Gavin Monaghan at Magic Garden Studio in Wolverhampton, "Ozymandias" features two versions—a full-length version running approximately four minutes and a radio edit clocking in at three minutes—both capturing the essence of Split Second's evolving sound.

Split Second, an indie pop band from Worcestershire, UK, is comprised of four talented musicians aged 16-18. Since their formation, the band has made waves with their original music, earning praise for their energetic performances and catchy songs, capturing the attention of a growing fanbase which now boasts over 250k followers on social media. The band gained national attention when their track "Reach Out" was used in a mental health awareness campaign across UK schools in collaboration with the NHS.

With significant support from BBC Introducing Hereford and Worcester and notable major festival appearances including HopFest, WooFest, MelloFest, along with supporting The Entitled Sons on their UK tour and being featured on This Morning as part of a fashion segment with Gok Wan, it’s clear Split Second are on the rise.

"Ozymandias" is the latest single from Split Second’s upcoming debut EP, set to be released later this year, followed by their first full-length album, Love Life Cycle, in 2025. Fans can expect a blend of the band’s signature sound with new influences that continue to push the boundaries of indie pop.
