Bio:
Split image was founded by guitarist Scott Winslow and drummer Joe Fugere around 1979 in coral springs florida.This band quickly received recognition for playing talent shows, parties, battle of the bands and the broward county fair. at that time and at age 14 that was a huge deal.They were picked up by burt compton enterprises and started playing around south florida.As time went by the following grew after each gig.When it was time to play the club scene a huge Split Image following had emerged.They played countless gigs and opened for numerous acts during the mid 80s and well into the 90s with acts such as Survivor, Foghat, Yngwie Malmsteen, Kansas, Blackfoot, Pat Travers, Marylin Manson, Tabithas Secret, Saigon Kick, Steelheart, Stranger, Black Oak Arkansas, Keel, Circle ll Circle, Zebra, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus and Young Turk, to name a few.This resulted in the band getting signed in august of 1992 to Anamaze records distributed by Island records.In early 1993 Split Image went in to criteria recording studios with veteran producer Tony Snetro to record the sign of aggression cd.During those sessions Anamaze records ceased to exist with the parent company of Island records.They were shopped to other companies and were picked up by A&R guru Don Kolesky for a brief period with Columbia records.They were then "shelved" due to the grunge scene and continued on their own.In 1997 Split Image decided to take a hiatus for a while away from the club scene to work on family life.Not until 2006 did Split Image re-form and start to gig again. at that time a stronger more mature band has risen, making it quite a successful line-up. this went on for a few years until they were approached by Sam McCaslin from Retrospect records.2008 was a great year for the band as they were signed by Retrospect records and the fire has been lit again.They have been playing standing room only shows since sept '06 and could not be happier with the response they are getting.We have a new line-up and we are very confident to bring the show out for you to see us.
Album:
Florida-based hard rock band.Songs Recorded between 1984 & 1993.First cd in 1993 with Island Records...it has been re-issued on the Retrospect records label.This rare CD from Split Image titled "Sign Of Aggression" is a must-have for fans of 80s Hard Rock.The CD features remastered tracks and is a first edition release from 2009.Hailing from Florida Split Image spent many years on the club scene opening for many big-name acts but unfortunately never got the recognition they deserved.During that time Split Image recorded many tracks that have never seen the light of day on cd format. featuring fiery guitars, memorable hooks and big harmony vocals.Retrospect records releases 13 tracks of blazing hair melodic hard rock that should appeal to all fans and collectors of big 80s arena rock. a worthy addition to the collection!!
